    "content": "We understand that we have various agenda items that we are following up on. This Parliament supports that. Therefore, it would have been prudent for the Cabinet Secretary to come back to this House and admit, first and foremost, that they had poor income focus and this has gone on for a long time. We commented during the budget-making process that we are pleased with large figures of forecast that end up coming back to us to approve a budget that is never met in the country. So, we need to go back three years and start tracking ourselves and ask whether we are capacitated to go through this process and if we are not, ask what we need to do. We expect that when we have this MTEF process, we will come up with a forecast that is within margins of 10 to 20 per cent. But now we have a case where we come up with a forecast and a budget that are far apart so much so that sometimes it is about 100 per cent error. This should not be allowed to continue in the country."
