    "content": "Hon. Speaker, as a Committee, we have an issue with finances. As a joint Committee of both Houses, the Senate and the National Assembly, it has been very difficult for us to achieve our mandate because of the two votes that have to be approved by both Houses. As a Committee, we need finances to fulfil our roles. For example, you will find one House approving the said finances but the other House says that it is waiting for the Supplementary Budget to release the money. We have been stuck and unable to move especially on the issue of public participation which, as a Committee, we feel we need to have a framework before the end of this year. This is so that this House and the next can have something to use when doing public participation, which is a very important thing as per the Constitution of this country. We need your guidance on how to solve the issue of finances especially with regard to the Joint Committees of both Houses. I would like to lay the Report on the Table of the House."
