    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I followed and I want to thank the hon. Member for raising that issue. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have a specific programme in the Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. But, I know that that there are a number of similar cases where money has been provided by donors and the financial year ends before it has been spent. Sometimes, this happens because of the bureaucratic procedures that are attached to disbursement of some of these donor funds. It will require that the Government has, for example, completely complied with all the requirements. But because of the bureaucracy in disbursement, the financial year ends before the money has been disbursed. I know that in a number of cases, the Government is not at fault, but if the hon. Member could provide the details of this particular case on non-expenditure or consumption of the funds; if, for example, the donor had already released the money, then I would be able to deal with that specific case. But there are sometimes a lot of difficulties in consuming the monies that are provided by donors."
