    "content": "Hon. Members, let us just return to the main issue. Indeed, the National Treasury acting in accordance with the provisions of both the Constitution and the PFM Act sought concurrence from the two Houses of Parliament. The concurrence can only be made through a resolution of the House; after each House having considered the Report coming from the relevant Committees. In our case, it is the Budget and Appropriations Committee which the request was referred to. Therefore, even if the Committee experienced difficulties, this can only be received by the House in form of a report. I am aware that the same Committee has been quite busy with the process of the Supplementary Estimates which has concluded with the passage of the Supplementary Appropriations Bill earlier today. Therefore, the Chair, Budget and Appropriations Committee, even though you know the House is going on recess tomorrow, you may have to call your Committee tomorrow morning and involve as many people as possible. If need be, you can table a report which will be debated even if it means doing a Supplementary Order Paper to accommodate that. Hon. Ichung’wah."
