    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, while dealing with this, we need to recognise that many of these delays are caused by low absorption which is as a result of delayed disbursement of funds by the National Treasury. On the same breath, the National Treasury needs to come up with a strategy to fast-track disbursement of these funds. While we understand that many of the figures are monies that have already been expended, the Supplementary Estimates should have been requested for within two months. The ball is with the National Treasury. We can only be convinced further if proper planning or a strategy can be shown that, indeed, these funds will deliver. Many of the figures here are going to double the Recurrent Expenditure. Most of the money is for development. If it is delayed it means that we will continue paying people salaries for doing the same thing and at the end of the day the wage bill will continue to rise. Let the Executive deliver."
