    "content": "involve and comprise professionals in budget making processes and financing, so that we do not have the kind of anomalies that we have seen in this Budget. To say the least, in this particular budget season, the cart was put before the horse. This is because the procedure of functions following cost was not followed. So, what we have is a budget full of guesswork and non-applicable estimates, because they are not commensurate to the functions that they intend to meet. Unless these anomalies are fully addressed, then we will virtually be going round in circles. We will claim that we have done our work, but at the end of the day, our people will be suffering. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I finalize, I wish also to remind this House that as we pass this Bill, we even have a bigger constitutional mandate to ensure that these funds will meet the needs of the people who elected us into this House and the leadership of this country. This will ensure that the suffering that our people have been going through and their expectations that the process of devolution is going to bring about the change that was anticipated and is expected by the people who elected us, is realized. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those remarks, I wish to support the Bill with amendments."
