    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question one may ask is; who is using these funds? Why do we have funds that are dormant for long, holding a lot of money like this, and nothing is being done to make sure that the funds are used to provide the much needed services to our people. I want to believe that this time, the Ministries concerned, and the Government in general, will make a deliberate move to ensure that these funds, which have been highlighted here - I have talked about the District Development Fund, the Rural Development Fund, the Cereals and Sugar Finance Fund and many other dormant funds - are wound up within the shortest possible time. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in respect of the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Development, the auditor raised some serious concerns on the disbursement of the women funds to the constituencies. It is noted that as at some time, and it appears like it is still the case up to now, the disbursement of women funds has potential for misuse. There are various concerns raised by the Controller and Auditor- General that, there is no proper documentation or channels of disbursing these funds. The Committee has recommended to the Ministry that it has to demonstrate that a water-tight system has been put in place in that Ministry to ensure that these funds are not misused."
