    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Report by the Committee on Finance and Budget on the Budget Policy Statement (BPS), 2022. This House has been involved in the discussion of this BPS for a long time since the inception of the Second Senate. However, one question I have been asking myself is whether it is an academic exercise or we are contributing anything to the Budget making process. We have been discussing this issue year in, year out, and I do not think our views have been taken into account. The National Treasury does not consider what comes from Parliament, much less what comes from the Senate because they know that once they prepare the budget, it does not come to us."
