Deputy Speaker, in connection with what I have said about Members’ activities, in terms of reviewing new programs, especially the NG-CDF, and monitoring what is happening, I have also been in contact with the National Treasury because I am aware that the amount that has been received is less than half. The National Treasury has agreed that they will be releasing more money in the course of this week so that Members can go and plan for it. Within a few weeks, there will be more activities taking place at the NG-CDF level, which translate into faster development for the betterment of our people. Therefore, this recess is basically being extended by an extra week. Members may also remember that this is the first time we have passed the Finance Bill before 30th of June. Previously, we used to come back from recess and pass the Finance Bill. Now that we have done it, we do not need to rush back. We have already done most of the urgent work. We will just be coming back to deal with the Bills. So, it is really a procedural matter, but it is fundamental because we are altering our business calendar. I want to ask Members that as we support, we should start planning accordingly."}
