Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have looked at the Estimates that were brought to us. I suspect that the reason why they are being brought late is so that we are not able to scrutinize and amend them. They think we will just take things the way they are. I hope that, as we move to the real Budget--- I am aware that, next week, we will be dealing with the Budget Policy Statement (BPS).

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I am sorry that I have interrupted hon. Abongotum’s contribution. In view of the fact that most of the hon. Members keep on repeating what other hon. Members have said, I seek to move that the Mover be called upon to reply.
