    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, ideally, my circulars to the Accounting Officers are very clear that the amount must be paid promptly in order to avoid paying other amounts in form of interest. However, at times, the Accounting Officers also come up with an excuse that there is no money available. They write to the Treasury and that can take a bit of time. That is why the procedures laid down under the Government’s Proceedings Act prohibit one from attaching Government property. But you can take out a mandamus for the Accounting Officer to pay the amount. If he does not pay, he can be arrested and committed to civil jail. That has worked wonders. So, I advise the advocate, in this particular instance, to take up that cause of action."
