    "content": "could do is to give this money to the Office of the Clerk. However, to let 50 out of 349 Members of Parliament to have powers to give us Budget, as other members of this House, in our constituencies, something would be constitutionally very wrong. It is a matter that even the courts would have to interpret. I believe in what I am saying because I have thought about it. As usual, I put my mind and thought to raise a matter like this one. Hon. Speaker, I beg you. We can revisit this issue but it is an issue that your able office needs to apply itself to, and not be casual about it because it means a lot. It would mean a lot to the process of legislation. I see nowhere in Article 221 where any Member of Parliament has the powers that the Budget and Appropriations Committee abused last year and would be given unfettered powers to do it again this year. I thank you, hon. Speaker."
