"content": "with the Cabinet and by extension with the Government. What the chairperson merely does is to report to the House for further interaction. Finally, in terms of originating Bills, Article 109 of the Constitution is very clear. Any Bill may originate in the National Assembly. When it comes to money Bills, again, the Constitution is very clear in terms of how to deal with it. This you will find in Article 218. In my view, it will be erroneous to say that any Bill with any financial implication should go to the Budget Committee. We have a tradition in this House where committees have dealt with matters that are directly under the purview of that committee, be they of a financial or any other nature. If you are going to direct every single Bill with any financial implication to the Budget Committee, you are going to clog the operations of this House. We need to revisit these matters and simply understand that this is not about turf wars. This is about procedures that facilitate debate and process and not merely for purposes of this one holding onto this or the other thing. Thank you."
