    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I urge you that when you give your ruling, kindly give a considered ruling. There is a lot of precedent around the world, especially in Presidential systems as to the relationship between Departmental Committees that are scrutinised and have considered the different budget estimates for different departments and ministries. A lot of the re-allocations have not even gone beyond the ceiling. They are just re-allocations within the same total. If you look at the Report, even those re-allocations within the same total are being ignored. So, I urge you because this is a fundamental issue. It will set the precedent going forward into the future as to how we make Budgets in this House. When a Committee has brought a Report to the Budget and Appropriations Committee, should it be considered just as an opinion, taken more seriously or can it be arbitrarily ignored by the sitting of one Committee? Is there a super Committee in this House when it comes to budget-making? We urge you to consider that when you make the ruling."
