\u201cThe job of the Budget Committee which we\u2019ll be assisting them [government] from the economy side is to ensure that all of these are adhered to prevent overruns. There is quite an elaborate provision in the PFMA [Public Financial Management Act]. We haven\u2019t been too excellent in enforcing it but now we have multiple committees keeping an eye on the enforcement of the regulations\u201d, he mentioned on the Business Live on Joy News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Oppong Nkrumah stated that the Committee’s focus on preventing budget overruns is particularly significant, given the government’s efforts to reduce expenditure and achieve economic stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn the Economy committee side, we will soon start our public hearings, inviting the ministers to come and present the Annual Performance Report to spot any overruns that occurred in the previous years and how you\u2019re spending this year\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
