Zamfara State House of Assembly has lamented that the State ministry of Finance has been allocating illegal funds to MDAs.
Hon. Marafa stated that series of irregularities and misappropriation of funds had been uncovered in the ministry of finance, as it was paying some MDAs more than what was appropriated to them.“In order to avoid apportioning or trading blames, the committee will invite both the ministry of Budget and Economic Planing with its counterpart of finance sometimes this week to ascertain the true situation of events,” he said.
The committee chairman wondered why the chairman of the Authority refused to appear before the committee, saying it was a clear contempt to the legislative institution in the State. He expressed his dismay with the attitude of some revenue generating agencies such as the State’s mass transit authority for not remitting what is expected of them.
