Speaker Wetangula wants lawmakers to discuss money bills inside Parliament instead of at public events. He told MPs they should debate the Finance Bill properly after he received budget plans before a break. Parliament must check how cash goes to different parts of government according to law. The plans went to special groups, who will look closely at them with public input.
Wetangula said the tax bill draft arrived and would soon start its first step toward becoming law. The finance team will hold meetings where people can share their views. Leader Junet Mohamed cleared up confusion about fake versions of the bill that spread online earlier. He said MPs should focus on the real document that has just arrived. Mohamed asked members to speak up in the right place if they disagree with the bill.
The Speaker agreed nobody looks good when they make a show about money matters outside, but stay quiet in Parliament. MPs head off for a break with instructions to study the budget carefully for Kenya's future money plans.
