    "content": "Very well. Hon. Members, I have to re-adjust the order of business slightly, so as to allow us to go back to Order No. 5. For the convenience of the House and the country, I should issue this warning to the National Treasury. The Constitution is very clear in Article 221. It says that at least two months before the end of each financial Year, the Cabinet Secretary responsible for finance shall submit to the National Assembly estimates of revenue and expenditure of the National Government for the next financial year. They are to be tabled in the National Assembly. They have waited until 29th April to do this. The division of revenue is in Article 218 of the Constitution. It is very wrong for people to wait until the last day to submit Budget Estimates. For all we care, we could have adjourned this Sitting at 3.00 p.m. If this is the time that the National Treasury is bringing the Budget Estimates, it speaks volumes about their level of competence."
