FOLLOWING PROCEDURE VITAL IN MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC FINANCES

Members of the parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC), on Friday, said that it was unacceptable to divert public funds earmarked for specific activities. Parliamentarians who are currently scrutinizing the Auditor General’s report of 2009/10, were perturbed by the fact that the Rwanda Bureau of Standards diverted over Rwf 52 million to finance the rehabilitation of a warehouse to accommodate a mycotoxin laboratory.  Another case was noted in Gatsibo District where over Rwf110 million was also diverted.
