    "content": " Hon. Musa Lentoimaga and the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, you have spoken about funds from the Equalisation Fund being utilised on a recurrent and fairly whimsical manner to hire choppers for officers of the national Government to fly around. I think when you look at Article 204 of our Constitution, which establishes this Fund, it is very express as to what the funds from this Fund can be expended on. It is, therefore, upon Members who have this kind of information to take the officers to task through this very plenary, so that they can explain why they are hiring choppers with funds which should go to help the people who have been left behind by history in this country. The Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning and Hon. Lentoimaga, I think it is your duty to take this up and bring up such officers who spend money in such a manner that is contrary to the Constitution. We shall have contributions from Hon. ole Kenta Moitalel."
