    "content": "Let me say this as I conclude. Under the old Constitution, there was a penalty for any minister who would have caused us this kind of embarrassment in the night. I was just one pound. We would knock off one pound from the budget. Against that penalty by Parliament, the President would take action against that minister. Today, I can assure you that this will be done on us again next year. I think it is important that we call upon the ministries to wake up, but I can only speak for our Committee. As it is being reconstituted, I know everybody wants to go into the Budget and Appropriations Committee, so that they can be part of this pork barrel thing. Pork barrel is where Members of Parliament allocate themselves money directly to their constituencies outside the proper procedures. That is unconstitutional. You cannot be trusted to do any other work in a proper way. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
