Parliament’s Finance Committee met on Thursday, 25 Sept. to discuss the requests sought under Section 12 of the Public Management and Finance Act. Under the law, Cabinet may authorise supplementary appropriations but they have to be approved by the Finance Committee before being included in a bill which will then go through Parliament.
