"content": "So, hon. Speaker, Sir, Article 22(1) of the Constitution talks about laying the budget estimates, at least, two months before the end of each financial year. The Cabinet Secretary responsible for finance shall submit to the National Assembly estimates of revenue two months before the end of the financial year, which is Tuesday next week. We will be required to be seized of the budget estimates in this House. Those estimates must come from none other than the Cabinet Secretary responsible for finance. I am aware that His Excellency the President unveiled four names yesterday. Among the four names is the name of the proposed Cabinet Secretary for finance. But my concern is the time that is left. You need to give direction to this country on what we are going to do in the event that we are not going to have those cabinet secretaries in place. That is because no other officer is allowed to introduce or forward those estimates other than the cabinet secretary."
