    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I rise on a point of order, pursuant to Standing Order No.83. Today is, indeed, a very important day for this nation and for the entire East Africa as we congregate here to listen to the key highlights of the National Budget 2019, as presented by the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury. In this regard, allow me to ask whether this House is properly constituted this afternoon. How come the Senate is not part of this sitting? How come the Senators are not with us? Can this House proceed to hear the key highlights of the 2019/2020 Budget without the presence of our colleagues from the Senate? This is a very important constitutional matter that you need to address us on. Under the new Constitution of Kenya 2010, we have two Houses, namely, the National Assembly and the Senate. I have information that they have their ordinary sitting today when the Budget is being read. So, we want clarity whether they have any role in the budget-making process or not. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
