    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like hon. Members to familiarize themselves with how NETFUND was formed. I would like to ask them to read Part Three Section 24(1) of EMCA. It will tell you that the fund is vested under NEMA itself. That, notwithstanding, it is very important to note that, as the hon. Member is saying that there is a lack of transparency, it may be the reverse that the lack of transparency was from the hon. Member. That is because the Ministry did not spend the money. If the Ministry of Education is given money to transmit to Teachers Service Commission (TSC) under regulations that the TSC must submit how many teachers they have in schools, there is no way that the Ministry will release money for more than the required teachers. It is very important to understand that. In some cases, you may require a budget to spend. If the requirement is a budget to be able to spend, those are submissions that the CEO must submit to the parent institution that is holding the funds on their behalf. So, there was no misdirection of that money. None of the NETFUND’s funds have been spent in any other docket within the Ministry - I want to assure hon. Members and the House on that. The problem was simply that the CEO was not following the regulations that are laid down by law."
