But they are very liable to abuse. In one of my findings, I was able to speak with a District Accountant. I asked him: “How do you remit your Appropriations-in-Aid?” The answer was that they normally bank this in an account. I asked him: “Do you get a receipt in return?” He said: “No, we only get a banking slip.” It is imperative that every time money is given, there is a receipt issued. To that extent, I want to urge the Minister to streamline collection of A-In-A so that we can maximize on this area. My suggestion is, it is important that a separate account be opened where this can be collected and reconciliation done."}
