With the provision for committee sittings, once the Budget is submitted to this House, it will be forwarded to the Departmental Committee on Budget and Appropriations to start discussing it.

• 30 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: For me, it is important that in these three weeks that we will disappear from the plenary when we come back, we strictly adhere to the protocols.

This money was meant to pay for salaries for promoted prison officers. view
