"content": " Let me join the Leader of the Majority Party in supporting New Clause 9A. When you look at the whole budget-making process, the process kicks off around August. That process is done by the National Treasury all the way up to January. They submit the document to us by 15th February, which means they have about four full months to look at the budget and then push the budget to us by 15th February. We have only about two weeks to give them feedback with recommendations. The whole exercise of increasing the period to 30 days is going to help the departmental committees a lot in terms of looking at the BPS keenly and making a critical analysis of it. When it comes to the New Clause 9B, it is on the issue of the revenue collection account for the national Government. It is now coming out clearly that any money which will be received by the national Government should go to this account. Once the money is in the account, before you use it, the law must apply that it must be very clear what the money is going to be used for and the process of using that money. The last bit of it talks about a system of accounts rather than just an account. I support that because even though we are talking about “Treasury Single Account”, which might appear like it is just one account, it is actually a system of accounts under one title “Treasury Single Account”. I support."
