    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, some of us argue that the issue of financial appropriation and budget making is a process that involves parliament. However, I do not know why it is viewed that it is only the National Assembly that appropriates finances to state and both levels of the Government. However, I am happy with the wording here, “such monies as may be appropriated by Parliament for purposes of this Authority” although, I know the National Assembly might invoke Article 110(3). I know this is where the rubber will meet the road or the road will meet the rubber because there is push and pull, where we have been arguing on who should appropriate. Many people have seen the Senate as a lesser House because we do not finally appropriate. I hope the Mover of the Bill will note this because it is somewhere in the Constitution that Parliament shall appropriate to independent commissions. It does not say the National Assembly."
