    "content": "that a money Bill can only be originated from the National Assembly. The distribution of funds to various political parties, and conferring a benefit to a political party that was not intended in the original Bill is in itself a money Bill, as you are seeking to confer a benefit on parties that were not intended. Therefore, this Bill is a money Bill and it offends Article 114(3) of the Constitution which requires that a money Bill must originate from the National Assembly. When the Committee was considering this Bill, it felt that it is in contravention of the Constitution, and that it was unnecessary for the National Assembly to consider this mater. It rejected this Bill as being unconstitutional. Although I am moving as a proposer, I have no seconder. There is no one to second because it is unconstitutional. We have nobody to second the Bill."
