    "content": " I am fully guided, Hon. Speaker. I rise with regard to Section 15 (2) (a) of the Public Finance Management Act. There is need for the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriation Committee to help us understand how much of the Budget has gone to Development Expenditure. The PFM Act provides that a minimum of 30 per cent of the total expenditure must go to development. I say so with the understanding that Recurrent Expenditure is unsustainable. In that regard, the 14 days given to the Chairman to look at the BPS is a short period. Maybe, we could give him 28 days, so that he can help us to understand how much of the Budget has gone to Recurrent Expenditure. That will help us in terms of giving us much impetus on understanding what goes to Recurrent Expenditure and what goes to Development Expenditure. That is what I wanted to give as an input. I want to support the Report. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
