    "content": "The Budget and Appropriations Committee, last Friday, had a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary responsible for finance. The Chair of the Committee will speak to it. We also held a meeting with the Chief Registrar of the Judiciary. We told the Cabinet Secretary in plain terms that he has no authority to reduce the budget of Parliament and has no authority to reduce the budget of the Judiciary. Therefore, let us be very clear and candid even as you make your ruling. You will just be re-stating what the Constitution says. The Judiciary has the budget we appropriated here until and unless this House approves another Supplementary Appropriation Bill which has to be assented. It is then that the Judiciary can spend the newly appropriated funds. But as it stands, there is no reduction or cut on the Judiciary’s budget and there is not cut on Parliament’s budget."
