    "content": " Hon. Speaker, let me begin by stating that I am making this Statement on behalf of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. There have been various concerns by Members of the House regarding legislative proposals that Members have submitted to your office and which are then referred to our Committee. We have been confronted by many Members of Parliament asking the status of these legislative proposals. Therefore, this is out of our own volition to apprise the House on the status of these many legislative proposals. I will also table after I finish the Statement, the list of all the 48 legislative proposals that we have received since the inception of the Committee and their status to date. Article 114 of the Constitution provides a clear procedure on how legislative proposals are to be processed. In addition, the Standing Orders also provide guidance on how Bills are to be processed. Hon. Members are aware that only legislative proposals that have been identified to have some financial implications are referred to the Budget and Appropriations Committee in accordance with Article 114(2) of the Constitution, Standing Order 114(3) of the National Assembly and the Public Finance Management Act of 2012."
