    "content": "We noted that in almost all Ministries, there was lack of adequate preparation and to this end, we have recommended that the Committee would like a situation whereby in future, such trends should be brought to an end and starting from this particular Third Session, my Committee is not going to tolerate them. We are not going to take it lightly. We may proceed to prepare our report without evidence of those Accounting Officers who will be subsequently named with the consequences that are attended to that naming. The second general observation was lack of clear legal framework for disciplining Accounting Officers. The Committee heard that Treasury appoints Accounting Officers and receivers of revenue but the current laws do not provide a clear framework for disciplining errant officers. The Committee recommends that the Government should consider introducing a Bill in Parliament that will stipulate penalties and disciplinary action for errant accounting officers."
