    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the reason as to why the Budget and Appropriations Committee, in a very bipartisan manner, came up with the recommendation that was adopted by this House was that we were concerned about the way money was being misappropriated by most of the spending agencies. We looked at this matter from a programme point of view. We appreciated the fact that we have a nation that has a new Constitution after almost 50 years. No institution in any country is bigger than its government and people. It stands to reason that any intelligent society will, after four to five years, want to ask themselves how a new Constitution, or the mother law, is being implemented. Are we getting value for money? So, it started as an issue related, especially to how money was being spent. That is why, in broad terms, so that the exercise could be inclusive, we called it “a socio-economic audit of the Constitution”. That is why the matter is before my Committee."
