    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I want to thank the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Next time I will help him to lobby, through the Liaison Committee, so that all Committee Chairs can be present for the Budget implementation for the Financial Year 2020/2021 meeting. However, I want him to withdraw two statements: One, that, Chairs are chasing headlines. I do not think Chairs are chasing headlines. Neither is the Director of Criminal Investigations, who cannot defend himself here. The DCI does not use headlines to chase people. That was a bit careless on the part of the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Those are independent institutions. Maybe there is a plan to arrest him for certain crimes he has committed. He is trying to make serious allegation against the DCI; that he is chasing headlines. As the Leader of the Majority Party, that statement is not in order. We are talking about the Budget. We are talking about chairs who did not attend his meeting, and I am wondering how the DCI comes in. On a serious note, the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee invited his colleagues to a meeting at the beginning of the Budget cycle. Today the Senate is out on what we call: “Senate Mashinani .” I have not seen that in our Constitution. Senators are defending it.
