    "content": "Hon. Speaker, currently, the next source of money for water storage is what comes from devolution. That will cover 16million cubic metres. The rains are starting next week yet the money has not been released. Therefore, the Budget of the 2014/2015 Financial Year will do only 4 per cent of the annual targets that the Ministry has given us. Let us look at what the Ministries tell us during the Supplementary Budget and the targets that they give us. They do not match. Therefore, we raise the needs to make them match with their targets – which end up raising their ceilings. If we do our Budget oversight role properly, we should note that some of the Ministries’ budgetary proposals are theoretical. They know that Members of Parliament are too busy to look at their targets and care about the sources of the monies for implementation of the proposed activities. That is why we end up saying that they need to burst their ceilings."
