    "content": "That second stage of the public finance cycle is where you effect the enabling legislation to implement what is designed in the Budget and that is where you have the Appropriation Bill and the Finance Bill. Once that is done, the proposals are presented to the various arms of Government; the Executive, Judiciary and Parliament to implement which is now the implementation stage. Finally, you have the public audit stage which is really an interrogation into the fulfillment of the objectives of the Budget. What we are looking at now is the second stage of the public finance cycle. An important element in that second stage of the public finance cycle which is the Finance Bill is on measures that the Government uses to collect taxes and levies for purposes of fulfilling the revenue requirements of implementing the Budget."
