    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is very wrong for the National Treasury to continue violating the recommendations of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. There must be sanctions. We cannot continue doing this. It is provided in the law that they can seek approval within two months. How sure are we that this is within the two months? I wish the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee is listening to me. The law provides for the National Treasury to seek approval within two months, but we doubt whether this Supplementary Budget is within two months. It comes at the last day of the financial year. That is why we doubt it. We need to be told whether they are following the law, or it is because this is the end of the financial year. Wednesday is normally meant for the private Members Bills and Motions. It is not easy to come up with a Bill or Motion. You have to research. Days which are meant for private Members are hijacked, because of the poor planning from the National Treasury. This should not be tolerated. It is at the expense of private Members. They get demoralised because coming up with a Bill is not easy."
