• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: I am also concerned in the same way. Have these amendments been discussed with the Committee? We have gone through a long way. The committees appeared before the BAC and the issues were passed here. Suddenly you come to the House to make amendments and changing figures. We do not know whether they went to the Budget and Appropriations Committee and whether the committees involved were consulted. Can we be assured that that is the process? view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Again, even if they were canvassed by the Committee, what about the various Departmental Committees? Were they aware?
