    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I listened to hon. Jakoyo. I was surprised and shocked at the same time. He said that what the Committee of this House did is unconstitutional, and that it cannot purport to do the work of the Executive – which, in his view, is appropriation. Our Committee is Budget and Appropriations Committee. We are responsible for appropriating funds. We can even change all the figures from the Executive, if we want. Theoretically, we can do it. In fact, some people are living in the old constitutional dispensation. Unfortunately, hon. Midiwo is turning out to be one of those people who have refused to leave the old Constitution, where Parliament was just a rubber-stamp. We now have a Committee of Parliament that is supposed to scrutinise the Budget in detail."
