    "content": "Hon. Members, I imagine that what the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee is requesting is perhaps agreeing with what hon. Ng’ongo was suggesting, that certain clarifications may need to be made and particularly – I wish hon. Ng’ongo was not being distracted – in Committee; it becomes much easier because I think the Budget and Appropriations Committee will then be able to guide this House in debating properly this Motion. This is because they will go through every expenditure with a toothcomb and, hopefully, tell the House when certain expenditures happened, and whether the explanations, if any given, fall within the requirements of the Constitution, particularly Article 223. That is why the Chairman, hon. Musyimi, is asking the Leader of the Majority Party whether the House would be disadvantaged if the report of the Committee were to be brought here on Tuesday next week. I think that is basically concurring with what hon. Ng’ongo was suggesting, if I understood him correctly; it was that we adjourn this debate and refer this matter to the Budget and Appropriations Committee, which then will help the House understand better this Motion. I appreciate that even when the notice of the Motion was given, several hon. Members did not seem to have picked the Printed Estimates on this particular Motion; perhaps, that may explain it."
