    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the whole idea of parliamentary debates is that we learn to exchange ideas and to listen to each other however difficult what is being discussed is. I do believe that as we consult, rather than vote with our feet in protest, let us engage in discourse so that we may save this nation. I think this nation is greater than individuals and if we parliamentarians show that we respect the interest of our people, I think we shall be held in high esteem. I think after our consultations, we do have a solution at hand. Indeed, what the hon. Members are asking for is going to be available very soon. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said so, what is clear in our budgetary system is that the financial outlays that the Government can make available for Government expenditure is very stringent because the financial outlays must depend on our economic growth and the extent to which our people can pay taxes to make it possible for Government to raise these funds."
