We wish to urge that the Chair re-considers its ruling on this matter, purely on the basis that it is a Constitutional requirement, including the fact that His Excellency the President has to signal his consent to this matter. As the hon. Member for Ugenya and Minister for Lands eloquently pointed out, there is no way the President will have given consent to Mr. Imanyara's amendment of the Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the very fact that there is no schedule--- It is really all set out there; it is a 1422 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 25, 2008 Constitutional requirement that the figures be expressly set out. Yesterday, in the House Business Committee (HBC), we were able to look at this and, in fact, decided that we would be prepared to come and present before this House the specific Votes on the various Ministries, the 42 of them. Considering the immense interest hon. Members have with regard to the need to exercise oversight over all these Ministries, we want to beg that we do not act in a manner that is unconstitutional. Certainly, I do know that the Chair would not want to act in that manner."
