    "content": "I would have assumed and ignored, as the Leader of the Majority Party said, that this is just a circular. But we cannot just ignore it. I beg the Leader of the Majority Party to look at it the way we are. This Circular has been followed by an act of the national Treasury of uploading to the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) half of the appropriated funds, which is contrary to the law. Therefore, even if the Judiciary wants to access the money, they cannot and Parliament cannot access money that the National Treasury has said we cannot through a circular. The same applies to the Judiciary. That is why we must speak to the National Treasury and tell them that they must allow the Judiciary to spend the money that was appropriated by this House until this House again brings a Supplementary Appropriation Bill the President assents and allows them to reduce the money. What the National Treasury did is irregular, unlawful and unconstitutional."
