    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. For the benefit of those who missed induction at the beginning of this term, and also to refresh our minds, budget estimates are tabled before the end of April. Therefore, after we come back from recess, I shall table the budget estimates before the end of April. These big books are table in the House. Thereafter, you can access them from either the Table Office or Parliamentary Budget Office (PBO). If you want to check whether any program or project you expected to be budgeted for in your constituency, you can ask someone in the PBO to help you drill down the numbers and see if it is there. At the time, when we are passing the Budget, it is good for Members to come. Many times, budget estimates and even the Appropriations Bill is usually passed by about 50 or 60 Members out of 349 Members. Then you start complaining about things you passed in Budget. As I said, it is important for Members to avail themselves at this time, to scrutinise the numbers with a toothcomb, and be wary of budgeted corruption issues. This was spoken to by none other than His Excellency the President, this morning. So, I thought it was important as we move to the budget making process, we appraise ourselves with what is going on."
