    "content": "For instance, if we had something like a gender responsive Budget, each of the different groups in the country would be targeted. That way, we would, for example, know the needs of women in this country and budget for them appropriately. We would equally know the needs of men in this country and budget for them appropriately. That way, even young men and young women would be covered. This document is so detached from reality that you cannot really understand what it is that you are allocating funds for. On top of that, we want a Budget that is pro-poor. A lot of the money that is provided in this Budget does not reach the poor. We know that on several occasions, we have been complaining that money remains with the Central Government. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir that is where the mischief begins. All the scandals that we hear about happen there, because all the money we supply is held in one “pocket”. Therefore, we need to, quickly, embark on the constitutional review process, so that we can devolve these funds."
