Chairlady, since I came after the Speaker had made the ruling I hope I will not be going against its spirit. There is no doubt at all on Clause 29(a) because its intention is to create a board. The creation of a board amounts to an anticipated expenditure. The Constitution is very clear that if you want to spend money – there is no way of going around it – you must present an issue to the Budget and Appropriations Committee which must bring here a report on that particular issue after consulting the Cabinet Secretary for Treasury. There is no way of going around the issue unless you want to act unconstitutionally."}
