Member is a money Bill or not. That is all you need to restrict yourself to. It is not within your powers to go and advise a Member to do something or not to do anything, because that is perfectly his right as a Member. All you need to find out is whether it is a money Bill or it impacts on the Exchequer. To that extent, I have received a recommendation which is positive that you have satisfied yourself that it is not a money Bill. Therefore, as you are contributing, I would like to ask hon. Ng’ongo to contribute to this as a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, just to confirm that the recommendation I am having from the Chair that this is not a money Bill or has no money effect is the situation. You have no role to advise a Member, for example, to propose legislation. All you need to do is to tell us whether it is a money Bill or not."}
