"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support this. We have, for a long time, seen Parliament being blackmailed or even just being agitated to “unless you pass this Finance Bill, the Estimates which you passed earlier will not suffice or be raised. Therefore, the Government shall not work”. I had a chance of sitting in the House Business Committee where I was with the Leader of the Majority Party who, a few minutes ago, indicated that I may only be able to speak on education matters. I am a teacher of History, Government and Economics. Now, let me indicate that we, together with the Leader of the Majority Party and Makali Mulu, would several times get ourselves in this awkward situation in that House Business Committee. This amendment will streamline this kind of arrangement, so that we are not in a situation where we are prone to blackmail or even coerced to pass the Finance Bill."
