    "content": "It is not appropriate for the Government to stand up here and tell us that \"we are tired!\" when, indeed, the agenda, or the business, which was set out by the Leader of Government Business has not been completed. Over 30 Bills were listed in the Budget Speech, yet this Government says that we have no business and we are tired. We have not seen even 10 per cent of those Bills tabled in this House. What is the Government then talking about? For example, the Fiscal Management Bill is a very important one that we have been pushing for. If you want this House to perform its oversight responsibility, we must have that Bill passed in this House. They are not interested! 3266 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 16, 2007 The Political Parties Bill is a very necessary Bill for us in this coming general election. Why is this Government unable to fast-track it and bring it to this House? Where is the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) (Amendment) Bill, which has been published? More importantly, these Ministers and Assistant Ministers have been taking money from the Consolidated Fund from 2005 up to now without approval from this House."
