    "content": "I am surprised that the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, who I highly respect, would come and say that the Government is tired and is not able to work. My Committee on the Fiscal Management Bill and the Appropriation Bill has written to the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs to beg him to allow us to discuss and hold the Third Reading of that very important Bill.
