    "content": "Subsequently, you will also recall that in 2019, the issue of the Division of Revenue Bill again found its way to the Supreme Court. I do not know whether many of you are aware of what the court decreed and insisted to stress the point that this advisory opinion must be taken as an order of court. The long and short of the decision was that Parliament, meaning the two Houses, shall not pass an Appropriations Act without first there being a Division of Revenue Act. So, we have to comply with that Supreme Court decision. It is for that reason, I believe, that the Chairman and the entire Budget and Appropriations Committee have been pushing for us to consider this Division of Revenue Bill, so that once we are through with it, it is taken to the Senate, so that they also consider it in good time to allow for the other processes which will kick in the process of releasing funds. But that is for the next financial year. As you know, it is titled Division of Revenue Bill, 2021. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
