So, I would want to encourage that we add following the procedure that is spelt under the Fiscal Management Act that will provide a firmer way of public participation. I want to encourage Members of the Budget Committee and the Departmental Committee on Finance that the Fiscal Management Act is one of the very good pieces of legislation, which I am seeing is being mainstreamed here and which, I presume, will die with the coming into effect of this Bill. If that happens, then I would want to hope that all the procedures and standards that we set under that Bill do not die with this Bill. That is because they had actually entrenched a very good system in this Parliament, and a very good system of public participation."}
