Speaker, on receipt of the memoranda from the stakeholders, seven departmental committees invited stakeholders for further consultations on the Bill. Several stakeholders appeared. For example, the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning engaged the National Treasury, pursuant to Article 114 of the Constitution, on issues touching on money Bills. We also did stakeholder consultations with the Kipkenda and Company Advocates together with the East Africa Grain Council."
