    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance is responsible, on behalf of the Government, for receipt of these funds which are actually loans. Therefore, the refunds are like repaying the loans in advance but the loans are still there in our loan portfolio. It is only that these projects will be denied those particular funds but the specific question the hon. Member has asked is the action we are taking internally as a Government against officers who have fraudulently used Government money. I have read to you the various programmes and they are not under one Ministry. So each Ministry is responsible for taking action. With respect to the Ministry of Education, it is in public domain that several officers have been taken to court and there are court cases going on in that respect. The Ministry of State for Special Programmes has also taken some action in terms of criminal prosecution. The process of recovery is still ongoing and there are officers who have been surcharged and are repaying the funds."
