    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you that you have given us the indulgence. What the Minister has said is that they will do that which they are obligated to do. I need the House to note that this particular report will come anytime this week or next week; whenever it comes there will be no time for us to process it because we shall be on recess. Even though the Tenth Parliament will still be legally in place, it will mean the Speaker may have to consider in advance that at some point in early January, just before 14th January, he will need to reconvene Parliament, so that we can at least prosecute that agenda. I am assuming that the Government is not interested, or is okay without having to bring Supplementary Estimates because the same were required to go through the same process. So far, they have not come. Therefore, Parliament does not have the opportunity to scrutinize, interrogate and pass the Supplementary Appropriation Bill, so that whatever deviations or expenditures the Government has gone into so far may be ratified prudently by Parliament. Since they have not come, we shall operate with the view that there has not been any need for Supplementary Estimates and a Supplementary Appropriations Act for this particular Financial Year."
