    "content": "Constitution is clear that money Bills must only originate from the National Assembly. I appreciate that even the work of a committee of this House is equally important at the time that the committee is going to deal with a matter that is so clear and you have already made a determination. I am at a loss as to why it is necessary to refer the two Bills to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. The best would be to tell the Senate that the two Bills could not originate from the Senate because the Constitution does not allow and that is it. The Bills die. If somebody in the National Assembly wants to pick it up… To me, it is very clear. They are our colleagues. If somebody has very good ideas of generating a Bill that is helpful to this country and it is a money Bill by nature, they can talk to us and we originate the Bill from here and they would still deal with it if the matter in question concerns counties. I do not know why they have to generate Bills that are money Bill by nature and the Constitution is so clear."
