Mr President, the Finance and Public Account Committee of the National Assembly has passed a resolution to address various concerns and issues regarding the financial management and accountability of Government institutions.
Mr President, these unpaid loans must be recovered to meet Government's pressing expenditure and other challenges in fulfilling its obligations to the citizenry. We are in the era of good governance and must fight corruption to achieve a better nation, depending on the improvement of the economy. A move towards that direction will be the immediate enactment of the Anti-Corruption Bill to tackle the menace of misuse of government funds.
Finally Mr President, the 78th Ordinary UN National Assembly Session ended last week in New York. And African leaders present there expressed concerns on military coups on the continent, which is growing rapidly and becoming a menace again in Africa.
