    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was checking whether the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee is in the House because in most instances... I know, for instance, the case about the Public Financial Management (PFM) Act. It will have some implications. Being a Money Bill, the proposal will usually lie in the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Hon. John Mbadi, having been my member when I was the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, will remember that, at least, every two months or so we would apprise the House on the status of any legislative proposals. I will pick it up with chairpersons of committees to be giving us updates - not just to my office but also to the House on where Members' legislative proposals are. There are those that have Money Bill effect and have gone through the Budget and Appropriations Committee. There are others that may not have a Money Bill effect that have to go through the Departmental Committees. Through the Liaison Committee, we will make sure that we occasionally update the House so that Members do not go through the rigours of making proposals which never get to see the light of day. I am keen on Article 223. We need to follow up on it because it is very critical in the management of finances in this country. There has been abuse previously of Article 223."
