    "content": "The CS for Defence, as the Chairperson of the Defence Council, remains responsible for policy formulation. The function of the CS is to formulate policy. Parliament exercises a critical function of oversight over KDF. It retains the constitutional function assigned to the CS over the KDF through legislation. All the legislations, policies and regulations which will come to Parliament will be under the direction of the Cabinet Secretary (CS). Section 10(h)(i) and (ii) of KDF Act requires the CS for Defence to submit to Parliament and the President a Report by the Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) on each Service on; expenditure, accountability and accomplishment under Article 132. It presupposes that the CDF then has no role in the financial expenditure control. The financial expenditure of all the various services of KDF will be managed by the PS in the Ministry of Defence as the accounting officer."
