    "content": " We cannot pass things here without debating. This is a House of debate. This is the Supplementary Estimates III. We have to question the validity and the integrity of agencies to spend money. That is a requirement by the Constitution. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I do not know if you may have heard. The Hansard has it that the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC), as he was moving this Supplementary Estimates III, said that the Departmental Committees did not look at the Estimates. That, because of time, they called the Chairpersons of Committees to represent the Departmental Committees. Is it in order that Chairpersons of Departmental Committees take the place of Committees if Estimates are sent to Departmental Committees? Is it by order that they can surpass debates in Departmental Committees, which then make reports to BAC, and then BAC finds out how Estimates were dealt with at the Committee level? Committee proceedings are the underpinning of this House. What is the integrity of these Estimates? How valid are these Estimates before we discuss them?"
