(Dr) Makali Mulu","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just want to indulge you on this matter. This matter of expenditure as per Article 223 of the Constitution is a matter of national interest. That is why the Petitioner had petitioned Parliament so that the matter is debated. From what you have said, it was only moved and seconded. I am sure Members may not have had time to look at the recommendations. I do not know whether it will be procedural for you to defer it so that we can have time to look at it or we can get a recap of the issues and then we can debate it. It is a very important matter. We will be losing a very big chance as Parliament if we do not discuss this matter. If that is not possible Hon. Speaker, if you allow me, because it is a matter I have a lot of information on, I could also just make some general remarks as a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and Public Debt and Privatisation Committee."}
