    "content": "Financial management is critical in Government. The role of Ministers and Assistant Ministers is to expound and propagate policy in the Government. Most of those policies have a major bearing on the use of finances. So, it is very important if they are trained so that they can know the basic financial management practices. For example, in some Ministries, you will find some Assistant Ministers who do not understand regulations on imprests. They do not know that an imprest has to be returned within 48 hours. They are supposed to know what the money they are allocated is supposed to do. Basic financial management is very critical when it comes to the implementation of projects. You will find some officers particularly constitutional office holders and Assistant Ministers in some Ministries holding imprest to the tune of millions of shillings,"
