If you read that Article along with Section 39 of the Public Finance Act, you will find that it is very clear that a Member of Parliament cannot purport to amend the Appropriation Bill, which is a money Bill. If he has to do that, then he has to get the consent of two important groups. One is the public because it had a chance to put its input. Therefore, the Member needs to go back to the public. Secondly, a money Bill cannot be changed without the concurrence of the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury. The law is very clear."}
