legislation. Therefore, it should be done properly. If the House approves this re-organisation of the Calendar, it will help the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. There are documents that were delivered here. There are various legislations that the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury has proposed which need public participation. Therefore, I plead with my colleagues to support this Motion by the Leader of the Majority Party, so that we alter the Calendar of the House.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. He has really mentioned some personal figures. He respects numbers the way we do. He has mentioned a figure, that the office of the prime minister shall cost not less than Kshs30 billion. This is a House of record.

Thank you, Hon. Chair. I want to go into the footsteps of Hon. Makali where he said that the funds on blue economy were removed.
