    "content": "approved expenditure, authorised withdrawals, actual releases and actual expenditure. I will mention one or two things that are missing, but these are very clear things that will strengthen that office. Parliament needs to support this. The other thing which is of great strength in the Bill is the provision in Clause 7(a). It provides that Cabinet Secretaries should give detailed accounts on why withholding of money should be done. During part of last year, this country was experiencing a cash crunch. We did not have money to do certain things, but we had a lot of money held in accounts by various departments and counties. We looked at this money as money that was held for some expenditure yet the country was in a big problem in terms of raising money to spend. It was mentioned at one moment that if one mopped up all the bank accounts in various commercial banks and put it together, we would have had more money than we required at that particular time when we had a cash crunch."
