    "content": "One of the critical issues we used to have in Budget and Appropriations Committee is that in terms of budget-making, before you allocate anything, and Hon. Benjamin will agree with me, the status report was never given. In this case, we need to have some verifiable indicators. Clear outputs and the absorption rate are very critical. When I was serving in the Budget and Appropriations Committee, it was important that before any money has been allocated to any item, the relevant committee must be able to give us the implementation status report detailing the output, how much money was given and what the budget deficit was. However, those things are missing in the reports we are getting. It becomes very difficult to scrutinise those budgets when they come to the Departmental Committees. So, it is important that as the implementation status report is given, you must operationalise those objectives for purposes of measurability."
