    "content": "This is the crux of Budget, estimates are based on revenue and expenditure. Those estimates, once they are brought before them, they can do anything just as hon. Mbadi said. I, as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations, can decide to move this from one embassy to another. That is the work of the Committee. The work of the Committee is to go after the nitty-gritty in order to help the Executive. With regard to public hearing, this Committee even though mentioned in the Constitution, is only mentioned to define the work in Budget process. It is not more special than any other Committee. The Standing Orders are not also an import in the Constitution. To talk about the Standing Orders as if they were part of the Constitution is to be lawless and criminal in mind. I have consulted with the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, who is my friend. He is willing to indulge us tomorrow, so that we distribute this money equally to all the 290 Constituencies. Whatever they want to know we will tell them. I have applied my mind to this. My people will be happier. Thank you."
