    "content": "the case, before the Vote on Account is granted, this Parliament must approve the revenue and expenditure estimates. According to the current Constitution, it is the responsibility of Parliament to engage in the Budget making process. It is no longer an exclusive of the Executive. Finally, I want to ask that if we are going to authorize money, for example, under the Ministry of State for Public Service and then Parliament decides that that Ministry does not even require a third of what is provided for, how will we then deal with that if already the Vote on Account has been given to that Ministry, say, 50 per cent? This is why the Minister should have brought the Budget Estimates two months before the end of the financial year, so that this House could have passed the Revenue and Expenditure Estimates before the end of the financial year, to allow us to authorize the Government to withdraw from the Consolidated Fund. Given that the Government has failed to do that, I want to suggest a cure for this, if you so rule. I am one who does not just give problems. I want to offer solutions."
