The Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning should censure the Governor of CBK. The Chair talked about regulations. There are no regulations the Governor is using. He is using circulars and memos that have no force of law. Therefore, Hon.

The 65 proposals referred to the Budget and Appropriations Committee, 41 have been considered and recommendations made to you and forwarded to departmental committees. I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party that many of the departmental committee chairs are doing Members a lot of injustice by being unable to process and expedite these legislative proposals in time.

However, from June 2018, it has been before the Departmental ...
