    "content": "Members ought to get a copy of that document that has been tabled and, on the basis of the amount of money allocated to their respective constituencies, they can go and plan during the recess. This document is talking about those who received 100 per cent or 50 per cent and those who have arrears. That was not the intention. Hon. Speaker, I would urge you that the Chairman should not be given time to discuss this document. It is about a critique of the 290 constituencies and that does not form part of the business that brings us here today. If the Chairman is saying that the matter is administrative under the new law, then he is under obligation to refer the matter to my office or the Clerk’s Office, or the Office of the Leader of the Minority Party. I am talking about the allocation for 2016/2017. He needs to go back to the drawing board and come back at 4.00 p.m. before we finish with the matter that has brought us to this House. We only have one agenda. There is no Motion to discuss CDF in the Order Paper. As you said, the Motion we have is on the Ratification of the Economic Partnership Agreement. So, Hon. Speaker, please, do not allow this document to be discussed. Let the Chair, even if he comes back at 4.00 p.m., to show Members how the allocations for 2016/2017 Financial Year are. This is a matter he can discuss with the Committee and the House at a later date, maybe, through a Motion, but not through a Statement."
