Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 34 of the Bill be amended in paragraph (b) by deleting the word “thirty” and substituting therefor the word “twenty” The justification for this is that any amendment to one budgetary calendar date affects the entire budgetary process. Therefore, changing the date from 15th every year will create a conflict between two documents. Therefore, we propose to delete that and replace it with what we are now proposing so that it avoids conflict in terms of the calendar dates in the budget process.

Yes, I am grateful that he is hawk-eyed. I was referring to 15th February every year. We are reducing the days which are required from 30 to 20 because if we go by 20, it will require a lot of time for approval of the documents by the county assemblies. Therefore, we are reducing from 30 to 20 days.

Given what the Leader of the Majority Party has moved has been carried and it is amending the same section, it will be very difficult to start amalgamating the two. Once we have supported the amendment by Leader of the Majority Party, the amendment by our Committee dies.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we have clarified that the amendment which was moved by the Leader of the Majority Party is separate from what we are amending in Clause 35. Our amendment provides details for the establishment of County Treasury Accounts and the management of the same. It is so detailed that it is not in conflict with what the Leader of the Majority Party has proposed.
