    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am sure this House is aware that after the passage of the 2010 Constitution, we are required to pass the Appropriation Bill so that it is assented to by the President before 30th June. That means we only have tomorrow to deal with it and pass it. This House cannot allow the Government to spend on Vote on Acount until and unless the Appropriation Bill is passed. We can pass the Vote on Account when the Appropriation Bill is awaiting the President’s assent but before passage of the same, we cannot spend on Vote on Account. Therefore, it means that if we do not pass the Appropriation Bill by tomorrow then come 1st July, this country cannot spend on anything and public funds cannot be applied on anything. The country will come to a standstill. This is a Procedural Motion. I ask the House to agree with us to allow the Appropriation Bill to be introduced for First Reading. I beg to second."
