    "content": "As a House, we are being asked to spend more than what the Constitution provides. We are being asked to allow, approve or authorise the Executive to spend 15 per cent more than what was appropriated in the financial year. That is unconstitutional, but the Constitution has a rider that you can spend up to beyond 10 per cent under special circumstances and with the approval of Parliament. When Treasury appeared before us, they insisted that the money meant for the SGR, which is a loan from the Chinese Government, is not supposed to be included under that requirement of 10 per cent. We had an argument."
