    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I support this Motion. I was given an opportunity to be part of the team that made it. This House should consider changing the Standing Orders to enable Departmental Committee Chairpersons to sit in the Budget and Appropriations Committee. We got an opportunity to defend our positions and interrogate what other Ministries are doing. I noted that a lot of money was reduced from the prior Budget. The question that arose is whether the big amounts of money that we budget for are necessary. It is important for the leadership in the Government, starting with Cabinet Secretaries, to look at the Budget and guide the Government properly. We do not need to have a very bloated Budget. We should also reduce the amounts of money that are not absorbed by the spending entities."
