    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you. I rise to second this Supplementary Appropriation Bill. Hon. Members passed the Motion after lengthy discussions and full support for the changes that were recommended which had been brought about by the current realities vis-a-viz the time of the Budget Estimates. I believe this is the matter that Mr. Mbadi had raised. In terms of the sequencing, it is now the time to formalize what had come up by way of Motion, so that at the passage of this Appropriation Bill, then basically the Minister will be given the power to access the money. So, this is the final stage of that formality that began last week with the House debating and agreeing in principle. The practice has been that this Appropriation Bill has never taken more than five minutes to pass because we are basically endorsing what we have already agreed on but it is a formality through the Commonwealth system that we agree on something and then we bring a Bill to turn it into law. Again, this is a straightforward matter; it does not require a lot of debate. I wish to call upon the House that we finalize and complete the process we began last week or the other week in terms of the formalization of the Appropriations that this House endorsed by passing this Appropriations Bill. With those few remarks, I beg to second."
