    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me start with the clarification sought by Dr. Khalwale. We must make a distinction between what he calls stolen funds and ineligible expenses. Starting with the funds, the funds that were proved to have been stolen or obtained through fraud, action was taken against individual officers who either took the imprests and submitted forged receipts or took imprests and did not account for it. So action was decided to be taken against the individual officers and not the Accounting Officer because when you take imprest, it is personal. You are the one who is supposed to account for it and so if you account for it through fraudulent receipts, then action is due on you and not the Accounting Officer. So action was taken against those officers and quite a number of them were taken to court and one or two jailed."
