    "content": "that these things are generated largely from the BPS and the departmental committees and then again in relation to how they are presented finally to the BAC. Besides that, I wanted to bring in something else. There are many things that are weighing down our budget-making in terms of balancing out our needs and the resources that we are able to get out. One which needs to be looked at very clearly in future as we move forward is the issue of duplication. You realise that even at this moment, we were able to notice that there are things that are listed from one department and when you get to another it is also listed and a third one is listed. You get a department harvesting water. Water harvesting is under the Ministry of Water and Sanitation. You get another one harvesting water for irrigation which is under the Ministry of Devolution. Another one is harvesting water under a forest which is completely in another different department and it is basically the same thing – duplication. We realise that there is this thing of training the youth and stuff like that. You get that in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and the Ministry of Industrialisation and Enterprise Development. In the end, there is quite a bit of duplication that is happening. Because of time, the whole issue of budget implementation is where we are missing. This is because many things appear finally as pending bills because we did not properly monitor the budget implementation. I plead with the House that we get into a way where we can monitor the implementation of this budget from July onwards to March the following year. A lot is happening. The House is completely out of it but then these are the burdens that we inherit when we are making the Budget at the end of the day. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
