    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to the first question, I want to confirm to the hon. Member that we are doing something. It is not that we are not paying the committee members some allowances. We are paying the allowances but the amounts are not sufficient. The Questioner was actually a Minister for Planning and National Development in the previous regime, and he knows what the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) is all about. We have about six resource envelops. In our Ministry, we are under the Ministry of Agriculture. So, whatever we are given is what we will always give to our committees. We will not give what we do not have, but we will keep on trying to persuade the Treasury to give us some funds. So, I want to confirm to hon. Members that this problem is prevalent throughout the country, and that we will address it once we get sufficient funds."
