    "content": "These clauses were to support the change of procedure for bringing the Finance Bill to the Floor after there was a change of the procedure during the enactment of the Statute Law (Miscellaneous) Amendment Bill (National Assembly Bill No.12 of 2019). The court had ruled that the Finance Bill should be done before the House adopts the Estimates. So, during the process of changing those timelines, this New Clause 12A was omitted. The timelines were in the PFM Act. Because of the time taken to bring amendments to the PFM Act, we removed the clauses and moved them to a Statute Law (Miscellaneous) Amendment Bill, which was already passed and assented to by the President. So, there are certain sections of that particular law which remained here. Therefore, we are moving this to support the timelines which were already passed by the House. That is the justification for the New Clause 12A."
