    "content": "As Members are aware, there is nothing much happening with regard to Government. And that is affecting this House just like any other agency of Government because when we undertake the process of Supplementary Estimates, as Members are aware, the Government system famously known as the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) does not usually operate. The reason for this is because we are making some effects on the budget and some Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) could proceed to expend monies which have probably been proposed for cuts. So, the essence of locking IFMIS is usually for tidiness of Government financials because the process we are undertaking now is to vary the budget. We cannot be expending the same monies that we are varying. Therefore, the essence of this Motion is for us to conclude the debate with regard to the Appropriations Bill today and henceforth finish the matter of Supplementary Estimates so that we can free up resources to go to our National Government-Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF), roads, water projects and for Parliament and other Government agency to operate."
