    "content": "Fair enough! The issue here is the constitutionality of the Motion itself. The Constitution is very explicit on public finance. Section 201 talks about principles of public finance. It reads: “The following principles shall guide all aspects of public finance in the Republic— (a) there shall be openness and accountability, including public participation in financial matters; (b) the public finance system shall promote an equitable society, and in particular— (i) the burden of taxation shall be shared fairly; (ii) revenue raised nationally shall be shared equitably among national and county governments; and, (iii) expenditure shall promote the equitable development of the country, including by making special provision for marginalized groups and areas; (c) the burdens and benefits of the use of resources and public borrowing shall be shared equitably between present and future generations; (d) public money shall be used in a prudent and responsible way; and, (e) financial management shall be responsible, and fiscal reporting shall be clear.”"
