"content": "Hon. Members, there are hon. Members who have indicated a lot of interest in this debate. Let us be guided by the provisions of Article 223 of the Constitution in debating this Bill. Article 223 allows the national Government to spend in any Financial Year, not more than 10 per cent of the total sum appropriated. But the approval of the National Assembly, I emphasize - National Assembly - must be sought within two months, if withdrawals have been made. After that approval, then an Appropriation Bill must be brought to the National Assembly within two months, but if this House, again I emphasize – this House - is not sitting, immediately seven days as soon as the House resumes. Therefore, even as we debate this Bill, we must remain guided by what is in Article 223, about the place and role of the Supplementary Appropriation Bill."
