Piqued PAC


The Public Accounts Committee is not amused. In the last 10 months the government has sanctioned nearly Rs 110 million as ?financial assistance? and ?medical expenses?. But it has failed to clarify the details. The committee had asked the Ministry of Finance for a detailed report so it can investigate the basis, the process, and the justification for sanctioning the funds. The recipients are largely top government officials, politicians and parliamentarians. After finding discrepancies in the disbursement of funds from the national treasury, three years ago the PAC ordered the Home Ministry to stop sanctioning funds under the item ?financial assistance?. Since then, funds are directly sanctioned by the Council of Ministers. The PAC is still waiting for the finance ministry to provide a detailed report on funds disbursed under items other than financial assistance.
