    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to contribute to these Supplementary Estimates and the Report given by the Committee. First of all, I wish to thank the Committee for this Report. Overall, in the Budget, there must be equity in resource distribution in this country. Secondly, we have had the Supplementary I and II Budgets. We need serious transparency in the budgetary process in our country. The Budget and Appropriations Committee must provide the platform for this to happen. With regard to fair resource distribution, we see that resources are moved from one ministry or department to another. We need to be sure that one ministry or department is not seriously underfunded to the extent that its function is seriously undermined. In the Report, the Committee is on record saying that some of the increases are not fully justified. That is a serious indictment on the part of the National Treasury not to justify how money is going to be spent."
