    "content": "Hon. Speaker, in your Communication on Tuesday, you informed us that we needed to monitor the Budget implementation of public institutions. I want to give a very valid example to illustrate why we are not taking our role as seriously as we should and why the Executive does not appreciate that we have Budget making powers, under the Constitution. There is an institution which has not been given money for salaries for the last three Supplementary Estimates. Every time we have Supplementary Budget, they ask us to give money to that institution. When we were reviewing the Budget Policy Statement (BPS), we asked: “Have you allocated to this institution” and they said: “No”. We said: “If you have not allocated money to your own institution, we do not want to be doing your job of adding Supplementary Budget to this institution over and over again.” So, we, as a Committee, proposed to the Budget and Appropriations Committee to allocate money to that institution, so that they do not have a justification for coming to us The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
