MDAs Unable To Account For Previous Spending May Not Get Allocation in 2022 Budget - Reps | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE
The house of representatives says ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) that are unable to account for funds given in the 2021 budget, may not get allocations in the 2022 budget.

Spokesperson of the green chamber, Ben Kalu, made this known on Thursday while briefing journalists in Abuja.

The spokesperson said it is a “wrong strategy” for MDAs to wait for 100 percent of funding to be made available before they commence the execution of government projects.

He said: “It is one thing to move the budget early enough; it is another thing to return the budget to the January to December calendar; it is another thing to sabotage the government by saying you have not received 100 percent and so there would be no implementation,”

“There is nowhere that the appropriation committee stated that you must receive 100 percent funding before you start implementing the budget. We actually frown at the agencies or the ministries who say they have only received 75 percent or 60 percent and are waiting for more to come before implementation.

“Why don’t you start with that 50 percent that you have received. When the other ones come, you mobilise the people, especially on capital projects. But you wait till the dying minutes and then start giving somebody 100 percent for him to be able to perform on that before coming for budget presentation; it is a very wrong strategy and this is one thing that we want the MDAs to change, and that is what we are going to be looking out for in the budget implementation defence when they appear before us.

“Yes, most of them will be sent back. MDAs that took the money of the government and kept it in the bank and refused to use it and are coming to tell us that it was not complete, they would be sent back. And some of them may not get appropriation in this new budget until you justify what you took before. What is the essence of asking to give you more?”

“Another thing we are going to be looking out for in this budget are those various resolutions that we reached as a parliament, which are supposed to be handled by the various MDAs for them to capture it in their budget,”

“If you ignored the resolutions of the parliament and you drafted your budget without reference to what the representatives of the Nigerian people have asked you to please consider while preparing your budget, you have acted on the frolic of your own.

“It is an exercise in futility, because we are going to pick it up and we are going to match it against the legislative compliance committee’s report, who would find out whether the MDAs are complying with legislative resolutions. It is no longer an all-comers affair.”

He added: “I want to guarantee Nigerians that the budget would not be as it came to the national assembly. It is either it goes up or it goes down. But it would not be garbage in, garbage out,”

“A lot of work is going to be done, and as you know, the house has adjourned till the 9th of November to enable us to consider this budget at the committee level. So, by the time we come back, we would be looking at the work done so far, and if there is a need to go back again, we would.”
