Parliament remiss in scrutinising accounts

[email protected]

The last audited accounts approved by Parliament was in 2009/2010. Since 2010, the audited accounts of National Government have never been debated, approved or any action taken on them.  Parliament has, in the same period, continued to approve more collection of taxes.  Year in, year out, it has agreed to the increase of the national debt.  It has given its nod to higher and loftier spending by Government departments.  For the last four years and counting, Parliament has not approved any audited accounts or rejected such accounts and demanded accountability for any leakages of public funds.
