"content": "I am a member of this Committee. When we looked at this matter, we realised that it could be a very small one but at the same time, a direct encroachment on the powers that are bestowed on the National Assembly. If allowed, we would be redrafting our Constitution. We, therefore, advise that we reject this and have the Senate do its work as prescribed in Article 96 of the Constitution and the National Assembly to perform its functions as prescribed in Article 95. Furthermore, it will create another layer of bureaucracy in the budget-making process because borrowing is part and parcel of the budget-making process. If that happens, the timelines that are envisaged in the Constitution will be breached. Therefore, I support the rejection."
