"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I would like to congratulate the House and His Excellency the President. Today, the Executive and Parliament have come together to make a better country for us in the sense of demystifying the making of the Budget. It is a momentous occasion because, for once, we are making a break from the past whereby a pig is always pig. You wash it, but when you turn your face the other side, it rolls in the mud. What used to happen was that we would talk about how Budget is so skewed in favour of some areas while other areas were being denied resources. People would debate and talk about it, but the next Budget would just be the same. The following one would also be the same. Our passing of this Bill, makes a break from that bad past, so that at least areas that have been neglected since Independence will now benefit with this new method of formulating the Budget."
