    "content": "It is worth noting that Article 226 (5) is telling us what all those who are handling public funds are expected to do. I want to read that section. We have been quoting it every other time An Accounting officers appear before us. Article 226(5) of the Constitution states:- “If the holder of a public office, including a political office directs or approves the use of public funds contrary to law or instructions, the person is liable for any loss arising from that use and shall make good the loss, whether the person remains the holder of the office or not.” So, we are saying that even in these recommendations that we have made, those officers who are responsible for the misuse of Government funds will be held responsible because the law is very clear. We have been telling the Accounting Officers that, including all of us who are managing Government funds."
