    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order No.120, this House resolves to reduce the publication period of the Appropriation Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 46 of 2019) from seven days to one day. This Procedural Motion is in line with our timelines as a House in making sure that the Budget process is completed. Now that we finished with the Committee of Supply last week, the only two items remaining are the passage of the Appropriation Bill (Bill No.46 of 2019) and the Finance Bill. The Finance Bill has a deadline of 30th September while the deadline of the Appropriation Bill is this Thursday. For us to deal with all the three stages tomorrow afternoon so that Parliament, the Judiciary and the national Government can access their resources from the Consolidated Fund, we are under obligation by the Constitution and the relevant laws, including the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act to pass this Bill. In accordance with that, we felt that we should reduce the publication period. The House Business Committee will then sit tonight and give it priority so that we deal with all the stages of the Bill tomorrow. I beg to move this Procedural Motion and ask Hon. Mbadi to second."
