    "content": "Hon. Members, I do not want us to discuss this because I want to make a decision. On a matter like this, we do not have to waste a lot of time because it is clear to me that the NG-CDF Committee, in terms of processing Bills, is the least busy. What other Bills do they consider? If this Bill was referred to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, as I think it should appropriately have, I am sure by now we would have got a report and the House would have expressed itself in one way or another. I have gone through the Bill and approved it as a legislative proposal because it seeks to limit the amount of funds that are left at the Board so that whatever the percentages you agree as a House, the rest can be distributed among the constituencies so that we do not have too much money left at the headquarters for purposes of people moving around claiming to be holding workshops and such like activities. In fact, even as the Leader of the Majority Party plans to discuss, the Clerk’s Office is directed to immediately refer that Bill to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning to avoid this unnecessary delay for purposes of conducting public hearings on the proposals by Hon. (Dr.) Makali Mulu. So, it is accordingly ordered that the Bill will go to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. The Select Committee on NG-CDF, please forget about the Bill. It will be handled by the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning so that the House can debate it and make a decision. That is the order of the Chair! Let us have the Leader of the Majority Party. 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."
