    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you. I am very sympathetic to the amendment proposed by hon. (Ms.) Wanga. I only wish that the Chairs and the Committees they chair did their work with more diligence. That is because if they had invited the National Gender and Equality Commission, they would have discussed this matter internally. The issues that are now coming to the Floor of the House; letters that are coming at the 11th hour--- These are issues that could have been canvassed at the Committee Stage. I have chaired a Committee before and I know the importance of committees. Ministries and spending agencies actually report to the Committees. It is absolutely crucial that the Committees do their homework. We cannot do the work for them. That is why you have noticed that whatever recommendation that has come to the Budget and Appropriations committee from the Committees, I have respected them fully on the assumption that the Committees did their work. You cannot fail to do your work and then come here and ask us to work for you. That is wrong! I think it is an act of bad manners to ask the Budget and Appropriations Committee to cough out that money."
