    "content": "secondary and primary education is lagging in arrears. They are, therefore, eagerly awaiting the Government’s contribution which this Motion is meant to facilitate. This is not simply in education, but the same thing has also happened to the security systems. The same thing goes for the development programmes that are going on. We cannot bring everything to a hold until the transition process, which might delay this, is rolled out in the pace at which we are moving. Even the food situation and all the other development activities that are part of the performance of our economy are all very essential. Therefore, even those concerns that have been expressed notwithstanding, there is need to allow continuity and ensure that the country continues to run. Article 221 of the Constitution has laid down the set of procedures that must be complied with as part of a normal budgeting process, but Article 222 takes care of a situation which, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 221, calls for the Government to resort to this measure of Vote on Account. Therefore, even if anybody were to think that there was a contradiction, that contradiction has been provided for and is well taken care of by the law. It is, therefore, not a contradiction. It is the position in law. Therefore, this Motion is prudent and is the right thing to do. I beg to support."
