    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As I had indicated, I want to appreciate what the Leader of the Majority Party has indicated. I beg to move: THAT, the Motion be amended by inserting the following words immediately after the figure “2020”– “Subject to: (a) Amendment of paragraph 47 as follows- (i) by deleting sub-paragraph I on Page 21 of the Report under the Financial Recommendations, and substituting thereof the following new sub-paragraph: \"I. That, the ceiling of each arm of Government for FY 2020/21 be capped as follows: (i) Parliament – Ksh36.22 billion (ii) Judiciary – Ksh18.05 billion (iii)Executive – Ksh1,778.13 billion\" (ii) by deleting sub-paragraph II on Page 21 under the Financial Recommendations and substituting thereof the following new sub-paragraph: “II. That, Kshs1 billion be allocated for strategic response to public initiatives.” (iii) by deleting sub-paragraph III on Page 21 under the Financial Recommendations and substituting thereof the following new sub-paragraph: “III. That, the financing gap of Kshs1 billion be funded through reprioritisation and realignment with the Executive’s approved ceiling.” (b) THAT, the consequential amendments be effected in the Schedules thereof. Hon Speaker, as I indicated earlier and as it has been mentioned by the Leader of the Majority Party, in conformity with Section 39 of our PFM Act, we are required that for every addition we do, there is a commensurate reduction in terms of expenditure. The BPS proposed ceilings for the Judiciary and Parliament. They had left out the strategic response for public initiatives which is money for public participation. As I indicated, we intend to cover all the 47 counties over the four-year period that we have. We have already covered 24 counties. So, we will cover another probably 10 counties this year because of reduced resources. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
