    "content": "Finally, I direct the Committee, after the consultations on Tuesday, to submit a Report to the Speaker of the Senate within seven days. Thereafter, the Speaker of the Senate, in consultation with the Majority Leader and Minority Leader will discuss how to push that Report forward. My suggestion is that we need a special sitting whereby we will discuss the recommendations and the findings that would be in that Report tabled by the Committee. From there, because the special sitting has a specific agenda, it must also provide all the necessary resolutions that are required to protect any officer or public office that may be required to use administrative measures to unlock the stalemate to ensure that counties start receiving monies before the end of this month. There might be need to make some resolutions to allow, for example, the Controller of Budget to take certain measures so that she is covered or rather that whoever wants to take action against her is prohibited from doing so by the resolution of the House. In a nutshell, therefore, dear colleagues, we are on standby. We proceed on recess, but we are on standby. The Committee on Finance and Budget should note that the country is looking up to them to unlock this stalemate. Finally, to all the officers whom I have mentioned, be informed that on Tuesday, you are directed to suspend any other business and appear before the Committee on Finance and Budget, so that, thereafter, we can tell the country when the counties will start getting their monies. It is my view that we cannot have another end month without counties having monies in their banks. Thank you, Senators. I think we have exhausted the issue of Statements. I will indulge Sen. (Prof.) Kamar. I direct that we call out the Order on Papers, next the Order on Notices of Motion and then after that, we proceed with the other Orders. Next Order."
