    "content": "Through you, Hon. Speaker, I ask the Leader of the Majority Party to lend me an ear. The BPS is one of the most important documents in the budget-making process in this House. It was supposed to be laid in this House by 15th February 2024. Today is 20th February 2024. We are late by five days. Yes, it was laid. However, we have lost time. Going forward, I am of the view that it is either we change our Standing Orders so that it can be committed to the relevant Committees when we are away or we change the Public Finance Management Act so that the timelines can be increased from 14 days to 21 days. This document informs how our Budget will look like in the next financial year. I know Members are asking whether we are implementing it. Every Member must take this framework and document seriously. Through the Leader of the Majority Party, I urge that we bring an amendment to the Finance Management Act so that we can increase the timeline. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker."
