    "content": "Hon. Members, as you are aware, yesterday, Wednesday, 12th June 2019, this House passed the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on the Budget Estimates for the national Government for the Financial Year 2019/2020. This process will be finalised once the House concludes the Committee of Supply, which will allocate funds to various Votes and programmes for the respective three arms of the national Government. As part of the process, the public pronouncement of the policy highlights contained in the Budget along with the proposed ways and means of supporting it ought to be made by the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury. Therefore, pursuant to the provisions of Section 40 of the Public Finance Management Act of 2012, and Standing Orders 25A and 244C of the National Assembly, I will now interrupt the business of the House to allow the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury, Mr. Henry K. Rotich, EGH, to make a public pronouncement of the Budget Policy Highlights and revenue-raising measures for the national Government for the Financial Year 2019/2020 and the medium-term. In accordance with the Standing Orders, I have also designated a suitable place in the Chamber for that purpose to the right of the Speaker’s seat and adjacent to the Public Servants’ Benches to enable the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury discharge his obligation in compliance with the provisions of Section 40(1) of the PFM Act, 2012. The Cabinet Secretary is, therefore, invited and may proceed to make the pronouncements."
