    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Details regarding unspent balances against each vote are contained in the Appropriation Account which is normally tabled before this House together with the Controller and Auditor General’s Report. The Appropriation Account and the Controller and Auditor-General’s Report for the Financial Year 2006/2007 has already been tabled, whereas the one for 2007-2009 Financial Year has been delivered to the Clerk of the National Assembly and will be laid before the House in due course. The hon. Member is encouraged to go through these reports once they are tabled before the House and apprise himself with the information on unspent balances, the projects that these funds were projected to finance and reasons provided by various Accounting Officers for the failure to utilize these funds. In view of “a’, parts “b” and “c” of the Question, do not arise. (d) I wish to inform this House that a Treasury Circular has been issued to all Accounting Officers providing guidelines on budget implementation with a view to ensuring that allocated funds are fully utilized for the intended purposes. This entails reconstitution of the Budget implementation and disbursement committees with the Treasuries across all accounting units in the country, monitoring and evaluation of programmed activities and periodic review of Budget implementation."
