    "content": "Order Members! Order Members! Let us make progress. The Member for Eldama Ravine; the Chair for Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA), you are all over again; you cannot push the Deputy Speaker. You do not even know who you are… Hon. Members, I am in consultation with the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I have heard what you have said and the concerns raised by Hon. Keynan. Let them remain there at this point. The Budget and Appropriations Committee is fully seized of the matter. We will request the Chair of the Committee of Supply, Hon. Deputy Speaker or any other person who takes over from him, Hon. Soipan, Hon. Mariru or Hon. Omulele today that they should not get to Supply Votes 2041 and 2042. I hope this is clear and instead of going to other places just refer to Vote 2041 and 2042. That is enough. Hon. Members, this will allow for consultation between today and indeed tomorrow morning because we are likely to continue with Committee of Supply until possibly tomorrow afternoon or Thursday afternoon. So, there is absolute clarity to Members. I want to assure you as a plenary that the Budget and Appropriations Committee of the National Assembly is fully seized of this matter. I believe you are the same House which is going to look into and pass the Appropriations Bill. Just like the Leader of the Minority Party has said, you will be able to go through it with a toothcomb to ensure that what the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning or the PSC presents is put into effect. Hon. Members, I hope that is understood because we cannot revisit the issues stated by the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee with regard to the other proposed amendments. The Constitution requires that the Assembly may only proceed and this is in black and white in Article 114(2). It states that … the Assembly may only proceed in accordance with recommendations of that Committee. So it is not even open to me to start saying that you can consider this or that. Even, what I have just said about the rest is about looking into the various reallocations within the same institution. Hon. Members, I think we should proceed to the Committee of Supply. For the Members who may not understand supply, it is supplying to everybody. Also those Members who are going to court to stop this House from legislating merely because of a speech and yet it is within your power to come here and pursued your colleagues that we should not pass this particular proposal, it is like you do not know where you are. I am told some Members of this House have The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
