    "content": "The Member stood on a point of order. Of course, for those involved in this matter, take into consideration the fact that Financial Year ends on 30th of June. Therefore, if what Hon. Cornelly Serem has said is anywhere near the truth, those responsible for the situation where not everything has not been disbursed to the National Government Constituencies Development Fund should take note. Also, to give comfort to Hon. Serem, Hon. Kanini Kega has just given notice of the Motion to be moved in the Committee of Supply. It is also good to know some of these procedures. There will be supply when the Speaker leaves the Chair to allow for general debate and then there will be the highlights by the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Planning. Thereafter, you will go into the specifics of each Ministry, Department and Agency. The Appropriations Bill will then be published. All those stages appear to happen before 30th June 2021. Hon. Serem, since you are an active Member, you can move these Members at whatever stage to tell them to boycott or to do whatever it is to ensure that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the National Treasury heeds to your plea. Nevertheless, I believe they have heard you as well as the rest of the Members. I can see there are too many interventions which are most likely to support what Hon. Serem has said. I can see Hon. Kangogo Bowen. I know you wanted to support and you are also quite agitated. I believe those who are responsible like the Leader of the Majority Party, the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Budget and Appropriations and others have heard. More importantly, since we are live, the people in the Treasury called mandarins have heard that they are likely to face some headwinds when they come here. If you are flying a small plane, when you see heavy clouds you do not fly towards them. So, I believe that they have been given appropriate prior notice that there is likely to be heavy clouds, and if they are using choppers, they are likely to get lost in the clouds when they come here."
