    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to move the following Motion - THAT, the Senate adopts the Report of the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget on the 2021 Budget Policy Statement and Medium Term Debt Management Strategy, laid on the Table of the Senate on Wednesday, 24th February, 2021, and pursuant to Section 25(7) of the Public Finance Management Act and Standing Order No.180(7) of the Senate, approves the 2021 Budget Policy Statement. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as it is the tradition, every other year before the budget is read, we go through this process. From the onset, I thank Members of my Committee for coming up with this report within a short time. I also extend my thanks to Members of other committees who made submissions of their feelings, objectives and likings of the BPS. I have a document with moving notes, which is about 200 pages. I wonder whether I should read it word by word or do the usual, reading it horizontally and then give Members time to debate this important Motion. Having mentioned the Articles that mandates us to do what we are doing, I will move ahead and make an observation that the Committee made. The House will agree with us that the time given for us to go through this important function is not enough. From the onset, the Committee recommends that the 12 days are not enough for us to carry out thorough deliberations of the BPS. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
