    "content": "Hon. Speaker, you are aware we have a caucus in this Parliament, which I chair called Parliamentary Caucus on Evidence-Informed Oversight and Decision-making. It focuses on use of evidence to say what has been achieved or not. So, as we move forward, my appeal to the Chairpersons is that they will have to work closely with the Budget Office. At the same time, there is a department in the Executive which is critical to what we want to do. I see that we have challenge in terms of resourcing that department. I am talking about the Directorate of Monitoring and Evaluation. That is the directorate which will give us all the information we require. However, if you analyse their budget and the way their capacity is in terms of availing that information, you will realise that we have a challenge. As we move forward, I would wish that we support that directorate to get a legal framework which could be supported by a policy framework. If we had a monitoring and evaluation policy that is national and a legal framework to support that same policy, all what we are asking for would be very easy and we would do this quarterly."
