    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I believe that the suggestion for us to meet on Monday is quite appropriate, given the assurance by the Leader of the Majority Party that he will also help us to mobilise some of our Members. I just want to set straight some information because I have also been in the Committee when we were deliberating on these matters. Generally, the request by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission was based on the fact that the activities that they are funding cut across both financial years, the current 2016/2017 and 2017/2018. It was felt by the National Treasury that they require to be given resources for activities they require to fund up to 30th June. Then the rest were spread in the next financial year. Unfortunately, what I am gathering from what the Budget and Appropriations Committee Chairman is saying is that some of those expenses, which we thought would be payable later after 30th June, are required to be partly financed in terms of deposit within the current financial year. So, the question of double allocation may not arise because what will be funded in the current financial year will, obviously, be deducted from the next financial year."
