    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to inform the House and my Party Whip, who is right that Article 144 of the Constitution says that if it is a money Bill like this one, it must go to the Budget and Appropriations Committee for pre-publication scrutiny. Its publication will only proceed in line with the advice of the Budget and Appropriations Committee after it has consulted with the National Treasury. All this was done. The National Treasury had a feeling that the Bill should not proceed. However, after consulting, certain aspects of the Bill were dropped by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. One of them was backdating the payments to 2010 and including Members who served for one term. The Bill went for publication minus those provisions. So, we met the legal requirements. That is what I wanted to add to what the Minority Whip has said."
