    "content": "Hon. Members, following the tabling of the 2019 Budget Policy Statement (BPS), the 2019 Medium Term Debt Management Strategy Paper and the Draft Division of Revenue and County Allocation of Revenue Bills, I wish to inform the House that the said documents have been submitted pursuant to the Public Finance Management Act (PFM), 2012 and in accordance with the Standing Orders as stated by the Leader of the Majority Party. The BPS and accompanying documents now stand committed to each Departmental Committee to consider and make recommendations to the Budget and Appropriations Committee within seven days of committal. The Budget and Appropriations Committee is expected to submit its report within seven days thereafter. This is to allow the House to consider the BPS within the 14 days limit set by Section 25 (7) of the PFM Act, 2012 and Standing Order No.232. It may be noted that the Draft County Allocation of Revenue Bill which is submitted pursuant to the provisions of Article 218 of the Constitution will first and foremost be considered by the Senate. As you know, even under that Article, it may not be proceeded on until after both Houses have passed the Division of Revenue Bill. The House is accordingly guided. Hon. Members, before we proceed, allow me to recognise students and pupils from the following institutions: (a) In the Speaker’s Gallery, pupils from Little Bees Primary School, Mavoko Constituency, Machakos County and those from the Catholic University of Eastern Africa within Lang’ata Constituency, Nairobi County; (b) In the Public Gallery, pupils from Jonathan Gloag Academy from Lang’ata Constituency, Nairobi County."
