    "content": "I want to further state that the Public Finance Act, under Part 1 Section 2, defines wasteful expenditure as any expenditure incurred which could have been avoided had due care and diligence been exercised. This House is required by law under the Public Finance Management Act Section 7(b) to monitor adherence by Parliament, the Judiciary and the national Government and its entities to the principles of public finance and others as set out in the Constitution which includes but is not limited to, openness and accountability; public money shall be used in a prudent and responsible way and to the fiscal responsibility principles of the Public Finance Management Act. I want to particularly cite Section 16(2)(b) that the national Government expenditure on wages and benefits for its public officers shall not exceed a percentage of the national Government revenue as prescribed by regulations."
