    "content": "Hon. Robert Mbui, you brought a noble request. I could have easily said that you go and talk to the National Treasury. I directed the Leader of the Majority Party to bring you a response which he has, and he has said that they are disbursing the money. The debate on the Budget is ongoing and the Question will not be put today because we have up to next week. I, therefore, want to encourage you that that extremist position is unhelpful and we do not encourage it. When we reach the Order, we will carry on with the debate. We will robustly debate as we have always done. The Budget Statement will be presented to this House on Thursday. It falls within the period within which the Leader of the Majority Party has said. What I thought you would be negotiating on is when the money is disbursed; the Regulations say that end of the Financial Year truncates every expenditure; you ring fence that money to carry on with the programmes and if it is safe, you do not have to worry. I encourage you to engage with the Leader of the Majority Party. If you have any issues then you can refer them to me. I have constantly gone beyond my call of duty as your Speaker to engage the National Treasury to disburse funds for your millage claims, your subsistence and other things that encourage us to run the House. With that, I beseech you to also be fair and patient. I thank you for raising the issue because it has elicited a response that looks positive. It may be inadequate, but it is positive.
