I thank you, Hon. Speaker. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view

• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: in the necessary flexibility of the new Government. We all hope that that Government will be led by President Uhuru Kenyatta. The Committee is pleased to note that over the last five years, the National Treasury has improved substantially in ensuring that adequate information is presented to this House for purposes of approving the Budget. However, in some instances, some of the information that is provided is still inadequate.
