They should make reference of a fund under the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act and the Constitution without necessarily making prescriptive declarations or proposals in this Bill. The reason is as follows: We already have a COVID-19 Fund that is not under the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) or the National Disaster Management Unit (NDMU). It is a Fund where the Government has created regulation for managing it. Therefore, before we get a ruling from the High Court as to what constitutes a money Bill, we can find an avenue for this Bill to get consensus in the National Assembly."}
