We lack powers to stop MDAs from repeating budget items annually - Senate - Punch Newspapers

The Senate has declared that the National Assembly lacked the powers to stop the federal ministries and agencies from repeating similar items in their annual budgets.

But reacting to the development in an interview with our correspondent on Friday, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Appropriation, Senator Barau Jibrin, said the Parliament could not stop such practice.Barau said, “It is a delicate issue. There have been some suggestions and lamentations from different quarters about the recurrence of items of expenditure every year.

“However, the heads of MDAs argue that the said items are perishable as they can get worn out and written off. I think they don’t get written off at the same time in all the agencies. While it may become unusable in one agency or office, it could still be good in another office.
