The Senate has threatened to cut down 2023 budgetary allocation of over 100 Ministry, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the country.
The threat is based on the grounds that heads of the MDAs have repeatedly failed to appear before the Senate Public Accounts Committee to respond to queries raised in the Auditor General’s report.
In the report, from 2015 till date, the Auditor General indicted some MDAs for queries like frivolous spendings, misappropriation of funds, inability to account for money spent, payment if salaries to dead or retired staff, among others.
