"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have one more addition. In the letter, it is appropriate that we tell the National Treasury that the law contemplates that these regulations must be tabled in both Houses simultaneously. That is why they will suffer the cost of waiting because they submitted them separately and, therefore, timelines apply separately. It is amazing that the country is getting into the question of borrowing so much money, but we want to amend the regulations and not the Act. Those issues must come to the Plenary. Thirdly, is what either Sen. Wetangula or Sen. Orengo said. In moving the ceiling to Kshs9 trillion, the fundamental question is how we moved from Kshs1 trillion to Kshs6 trillion, and what we were borrowing for. This offers us an opportunity under the Constitution to request for those documents. We will ensure that the information reaches the Committee, where Sen. Wetangula and I sit, in 14 days. Please, allow us to ask those questions. If we get any bottlenecks about the documentation on why Kenya is borrowing and why the debt has reached Kshs6.7 trillion, we will come back and tell you they have refused. We will, therefore, not table a report until they comply."
