    "content": "Hon. Members, I want this to be understood. In terms of Standing Order No.232, which establishes the purpose and the manner in which the Budget Policy Statement and its content shall be presented, once it is tabled, as it has been tabled by the Leader of the Majority Party today, it is committed to the Budget and Appropriations Committee as well as to each of the Departmental Committees. It is for that reason that Standing Order No.232(5) clearly says that in considering the BPS, the Budget and Appropriations Committee shall consult each Departmental Committee and table a report containing its recommendations on the statement to the House for consideration. The Budget and Appropriations Committee is enjoined and obligated to consult each Departmental Committee. This paragraph is similar to what is contained in the PFM Act of 2012. Of course, as Members, you are at liberty to make correction. The BPS is not exactly the Budget Estimates that are presented by the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in mid-June of each year. The estimates will be presented after the CS for the National Treasury has considered the resolution of this House."
