    "content": "This will enable us ascertain that every item that the Government is asking us to approve expenditure for was incurred within two months, or if the House was not in session, approval was sought within two weeks. I know we are beyond this because we have been in session for more than two weeks. If the expenditure was incurred within two months, then we need a committee to scrutinise every item, so that this House does not violate the provisions of the Constitution. The Constitution dictates that we can only approve expenditure through Supplementary Estimates only if it was incurred within two months prior to the approval. Therefore, this House will be in the wrong if we just go ahead to transact this business in plenary without due regard to that provision of the Constitution. Therefore, I request that this matter be referred to a committee that can keenly look at it. Thank you. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
