"content": "As I start I would like to appeal to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance that he should try as much as possible to work within the law. On a number of occasions, he has deliberately refused to work within the law. That makes it very difficult for some of us to just support the Motions that he brings before this House. Even though this is a very crucial Bill, sometimes, it is with a heavy heart that we support it. Why do I say this? First of all, the Ministry of Finance is accountable to the Budget Committee as far as the Consolidated Fund Services Account is concerned. I would like to report to this House that the Minister deliberately refused to appear before the Committee on several occasions. Even after writing to him reminders, he refused to appear before us. No explanation has been forthcoming. He gave explanations that he was attending to other very important national matters. I wonder what these âimportant national mattersâ are, which are more than the Budget Committee that runs this country. So, he needs to co-operate with Parliament, if he wants Parliament to support his Bills which will help run this country."
