    "content": "But, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point that I really want to make - and I made it a little earlier on when we were debating the previous Ministry’s Vote - the two Ministries that we are doing today are actually the most important Ministries in the Government. If you look at the Chamber - and, in fact, even the CDF is the responsibility of this Ministry - where are the hon. Members of Parliament? Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to urge the Minister to put a proposal to the Cabinet that hon. Members be removed from managing CDF because, surely, that is basic sense. There is the Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary. The role of Parliament is to legislate and oversee the functions of the Executive. So, really, we have no business managing funds ourselves! Really, we have no business managing the funds because our job is to check what the Ministries do."
