    "content": "Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, which is not the scenario now. There is a challenge and I sympathise with the National Treasury officials who want to make a presentation to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. In most cases, we represent the people and are sensitive to issues that affect the people. The Members who sit in the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning in most cases want to bring down taxation and those in the Budget and Appropriations Committee want to improve on budgeting and appropriation, which is a challenge and it affects two Bills, namely, the Finance Bill and the Appropriation Bill. This is like a family where the revenue collection is different from resource allocation. They must go together. We need to find a way of harmonizing, so that those who sit on the committees give input on how to improve on the finances."
