Those are development projects. As I sit down, I want to say that your understanding and exposition on this matter is very fair. Just before we came in, hon. Angwenyi called me and told me: “We have an amendment we wish to make. I need to see you so that I can bring it to the Floor of the House.” This was around 2:15 p.m. Indeed, you have seen it because you have said and I quote: “Proposal should go--- (Technical hitch due to power failure) ---half of the committee.” My fear is that this request is time barred because the Committee cannot meet now. I suspect that is the same thing that is happening with the other amendment that you read. Can I, as I finish, say that - and it is a pity that hon. Members are missing it - there is an opportunity to deal with some of these problems that we are raising. This, with the greatest respect, is a storm in a tea cup. We recommended, in the amended Motion yesterday, that the NationalTreasury takes these recommendations into consideration in finalization of the Estimates for 2015/2016 Financial Year."}
