    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 49(2)(a), this House resolves to rescind its decision of Tuesday, 16th February 2016 (Afternoon Sitting) regarding the appointment of Members to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Hon. Speaker, following the rejection of the names of the reconstituted Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on 16th February 2016, we are left with three options. In the HBC that took place this week, that agenda was brought as a substantive agenda to discuss this matter. The matter that was brought to the House Business Committee (HBC) was that the Liaison Committee which you referred this matter to has said, through its Chair, Hon. Deputy Speaker, that they are facing a number of difficulties in dealing with the matters relating to budgetary estimates, money Bills in as far as Private Members Bills are concerned, taxation and division of revenue in the budget-making process. The HBC deliberated that matter for over three hours and a number of issues came up. One of the issues is the delay in Private Members’ Bills or legislation that touches on Article 114, where the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury must concur, but the Budget and Appropriations Committee might not agree with him. The option left for us, as a House, is to rescind this matter. We have three issues with the Liaison Committee through its Chair. The Liaison Committee is composed of the Chairs of all Committees. All Chairs of all Committees have left their respective Departmental and Select Committee functions and are attending only the Liaison Committee within the budget-making process.
