    "content": "I do not want to overlook certain issues which are very important. This PFM (Amendment) Bill is very important in the sense that it has come at a time when we have learnt lessons. The Executive arm of Government, especially the National Treasury, has come up with this amendment Bill, so that some of these loopholes can be closed. It is not easy to close all of them in one go but what they have mentioned touches on the core of the major problems that we have. The importance of the controls that are being put in place to control the pilferage which goes on just before elections is something that needs to be underscored. Major pending bills are created. It is so sad to say that they all arise from ghost projects which are created and people think about them before the elections. It is obvious that procurement procedures are flouted right, left and centre because people do things in a hurry. Basically, all this is done because people want to get away with stealing and misusing public funds."
