What we must be asking is: “To whom do these funds go?” “How does Treasury retain this Fund?” If there are no beneficiaries for this Fund at this point in time, such funds must be removed from the books of accounts and transferred elsewhere so that this money can be used for the important purposes. view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you for coming to my defence. I think it has also taken away my train of thought but I will continue. view
