    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the Parliament looks at the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) and agrees on where priorities will be as happened in the previous financial year. The conformity to that BPS tracking the subsequent steps to ensure that they are consistent gets lost along the way. We have very competent office, they actually produce the numbers. However, it looks like the National Treasury works in a completely different dynamic. That dynamic is not what they say is in the BPS, it is something else. Our Treasury which is manned by persons, who are very well schooled and exposed, cannot be doing that out of ignorance. It is a wilful process and direction therefore that is consequential from what they are doing. That wilful process is not helping us. So, we have serious issues there that I would hope… I want to say this to the President. If you are looking for a legacy with the Big Four Agenda, it must not be supported through how big numbers have been put in, but what numbers are put in to do what outcomes. If you trace the outcomes in these processes, they are not what we think they are. Therefore, the chance of achieving the Big Four Agenda is going to a very elusive process."
