    "content": "The House then, as it is today, was concerned with the accuracy of the documents at its disposal in discharging its mandate. From the foregoing and arising from the adoption of the Joint Committee’s Report by the House, I wish to make the following observations:- (i) That, one of the main functions of the House is to approve the Estimates of Expenditure based on authenticated documents with adequate details to enable it make informed judgement. (ii) I am satisfied that the matter touching on the discrepancies raised by hon. Imanyara has been attended to, save for further action as recommended by the Joint Committee (iii)That, the Supplementary Estimates that were tabled by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance on 22ndApril, 2009, had discrepancies which, however, did not impact on the overall figure of the Printed Estimates laid in the House in June, 2008. (iv) That, the Joint Committee considered this matter and confirmed the same. That, once the Supplementary Estimates are corrected and resubmitted, pursuant to the House resolution when it approved the Report of the Joint Committee, such supplementary Estimates will be taken to have been correct ab initio. That, the procedure in the House is supposed to facilitate the business rather than stifle it. I wish, therefore, to direct as follows: - (a) That, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance withdraws the Supplementary Estimates laid on the Table of the House on 22nd April, 2009, and re- submit the correct Supplementary Estimates. (b) That the Motion for consideration of the Supplementary Estimates for the Fiscal Year 2008/2009 approved by the House on 29th April, 2009, pursuant to provisions of Standing Order No.156 (1), stands valid and that the House proceeds to transact Supplementary Appropriation Bill as appropriate. I thank you."
