    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to also contribute to this Bill. In supporting the Appropriation Bill, I wish to say that at last this House is in control of the budget-making process through the Budget and Appropriations Committee. However, the problem is that we have made the Budget, but the confusion may come much later when we start getting supplementary budgets which fail to give us the details of what we are being asked to approve. The deficiency in the budget-making process, which is now being done by this House is that we need to take control of the policies that inform the budget-making process. This is still lacking and if we continue like this, we get confused or lost in the middle of monitoring Budget performance. Turning specifically to what is contained in the Appropriation Bill, we have got both good and bad. The good is that the national Treasury finally looked at the areas that are likely to affect the performance of our economy during the 2015/2016 Financial Year. These were mentioned as terrorism, drought and weak global economy. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
