    "content": "The sting in any report of the PAC, indeed, any report of this House, is how effectively recommendations of the Committee are implemented. I want to again draw the attention of the House to the fact that we have to go the extra mile to make sure that the recommendations in these reports are implemented. The PAC has already noted the challenge of weak implementation of recommendations in previous reports. It has identified a raft of measures that can be undertaken. At the top of those measures is the letter and spirit of Article 226(5) of the Constitution. It says that:- “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”."
