The BAC can amend the budget proposed by the Executive. This is in line with the Constitution of Kenya which also empowers the Parliament of Kenya to stop budget allocation to any institution. In fact the Budget and Appropriations Committee has in the past made amendments to the budget. The process of effecting amendments to the budget is, however, conducted through a consultative process with the Finance Ministry and other relevant stakeholders including the general public. It was also mentioned that, due to the system of government, the Appropriations Bill is signed by the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee rather than the Cabinet Secretary responsible for Finance. However, accountability remains with the Executive given that the Appropriations Bill is initiated by the Executive and assented to by the President who is the Head of the Executive.
