    "content": "We are going to our constituents and we are going to be asked for roads. We had made provision that this money that has been \"eaten\" left, right and centre will go to the constituencies. That provision has now been suspended. We do not know whether it will come back at all. 4302 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 7, 2006 Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we also know that this country needs a Constitution. There was a Bill that we were due to discuss. With us going home today, that Bill lapses. What happens? There is the issue of The Supplies Practitioners and Management Bill. We know that tonnes of money is being lost through procurement. This Bill was supposed to bring some order so that the procurement officers have some code of conduct so that if somebody misappropriates money, they are taken to task. This is going to lapse. We also know about the proceeds and crime or the anti-money laundering Bill which is going to lapse, if we go home today. Indeed, there are many others: The Constituencies Development Fund. This is the crux of the matter. Our people want more money because that is the only money they are sure that will end up in the constituency. We are being told to go home but I am not tired. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I still have energy and I want to go on. I, therefore, do not see why we are being pushed to go home."
