    "content": "the management of our public institutions and trying to pass bills that eventually become Acts of Parliament, which later establishes a number of those semi-autonomous Government agencies. They are called semi-autonomous because they enjoy some autonomy in areas of finance administration. In trying to assess the working of those agencies in this Committee, we found out a lot of deficiencies in terms of financial management, administration and, in some cases, non-existence of agencies that were established by an Act of Parliament. Some were established by legal notice, executive orders and other means. Hon. Deputy Speaker, there are some glaring deficiencies like the lack of autonomy in budgeting, appropriation and budget control. Some of those very crucial roles are still being managed by the parent ministries and yet, they are agencies that have fully fledged staffing with a CEO in some cases and registrars and managing director or director-general in others."
