    "content": "therefore it is now an Act of Parliament. If that is true, how can we at this stage take out money which has already been allocated in law and was assented to? Unless there is an amendment to that law, because the Appropriations Act 2017/2018 was long assented to, and is an Act of Parliament. To do anything which is contained therein would require an appropriate amendment to that Act. I sympathise with the issues you have raised. Apart from that under the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act passed by this House, a procuring entity may not commence a procurement process unless it has budgets for it. To that extent I sympathise with what you have just explained relating to IEBC and the procurement of ballot papers. That is the furthest I can go. I can only express sympathy. Hon. Mutava Musyimi, perhaps you wish to respond because the issues raised have been canvassed by way of points of order and perhaps you wish to comment on them."
