    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, the House must grow teeth, must show teeth and must use them. In order to proceed, we must emphasize that this Chamber shall not act for nothing. You cannot have 435 elected Members of this Republic who are leaders pass a resolution here and somebody ignores it. That is what has been going on. We need to change the kind of resolutions we make. All resolutions will be made with a view to implementation. So, resolutions addressed as “urges, recommends, beseeches and pleads” should not be done any more. We either pass legislation or a resolution, which is something which must be implemented. It is this House that makes the Budget. When we make the Budget, we shall insist that if what we have already passed a resolution on is not included in the Budget, we shall do so and reallocate that budget to that effect. For instance, political parties that have not got their money, we should get a Petition on how to handle that issue and I am sure the Committee will do something about it. Thank you."
