    "content": "The matter before us is of the nature of a money Bill. In respect to our Constitution, it would be unconstitutional for us to do what we are trying to do now. I also want to refer you to a point in time when I was new in this House. I wanted to move a similar amendment on the Value Added Act, 2013. In the very way it is today, my amendment had found itself to the Order Paper but because of the constitutionality of the matter, I had to withdraw the particular amendment. It had to be dropped. In order for this particular amendment to proceed, not only should it have been before the Budget and Appropriations Committee, but it should also have gone through the process of consultations with the Treasury. So, for that purpose, this particular issue is unconstitutional. We cannot prosecute it."
