Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question that we have addressed here, of how much is the budget gap; my dear colleagues, the budget gap for this financial year is Kshs635 billion. The budget gap for the next financial year, according to the Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO), is Kshs584.6 billion; and for the following year, it is Kshs586.8 billion, making a total of Kshs1.2 trillion. I want you to read the report of the PBO that they also presented to the National Assembly, suggesting that the debt ceiling should be at a maximum of Kshs7.5 trillion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what are we saying in terms of the Minority? This is not a Bill; this is not a Motion; this is a gazette notice. This is a gazette notice that can be withdrawn tomorrow and republished. Why are you making it look like the country is in dire straits, as if, if we fail to pass this today, tomorrow it will collapse? It is a lie!"
