"content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, of course the reference to Parliament is something I would not want to dwell on, because when you talk of Parliament, then the Senate comes in. The word “parliament” has brought conflict between us and the Senate. Having said so, I presume that this is under Article 223(2), approval for which is supposed to given within two months after the first withdrawal of the money. However, Article 223(3) applies when Parliament was not in session. All this is happening because we had elections in March. Observance of the timelines provided for in the whole chapter on Public Finance, under which provisions on the Supplementary Appropriation fall, has been an issue. Of course, I have discussed this with the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and we agreed. I am sure that he has a reply to give for this debate. If we give him chance as the Chairperson of that Committee, he will shed more light on this matter. So, what hon. Mbadi has said is valid under Article 223(2) and (3)."
