    "content": " Hon. Speaker, thank you, for indulging. Let me make a quick comment. I am a bit confused with the concern that has been raised. How? When we appropriate money, it is on a budget line and vote line. A Government has a voting system through which our budget is arranged and rearranged. For the first time, we did a programme-based budget. So, these monies cannot be moved from one area to another. If it is a programme that has been moved from one Ministry to another it is the work of the Executive. The Executive can reorganise itself the way it wants so long as the money remains under that particular programme. In the event that the money will be moved from one programme to another thereby interfering with our budgeting process, then the Auditor-General’s office will take action. Unless that is clarified, the source of concern does not come out clearly to me. Our Budget is now based on programmes. If the Executive wants to shift a programme from one Ministry or department to another, I do not see a problem there. So long as the money remains under that programme. But in the event the money is reallocated from a programme, then that becomes an audit query and the House can deal with it appropriately not only in a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
