    "content": " Thank you Hon. Speaker. I agree with what my colleagues have said. The truth of the matter is that public debt is closely associated with budget deficits. Here, we are talking about the Budget for the national Government, that is, the totality of the Budget. Where there is need to borrow even at the county level, according to the Constitution, the Senate is supposed to promote the interest of the counties. So even where counties are expected to borrow, they are always guaranteed by the national Government. Matters public debt are at the national level and the only thing the Senate can do is provided for in Article 211 of the Constitution. They can, by a resolution, get a lot of details relating to debt issues but not by straight arrangements where they get reports straight from the National Treasury to them. On that basis, it is important not to re-write the Constitution. I support the rejection, Hon. Speaker."
