He says the Government normally budgets for K170 million for rentals but has reduced this in the budget.
“We need to create the appropriation through the Supplementary budget that will enable Treasury to authorise expenditure up to that level to pay for the rentals,” states Abel.

“We’ve got to have a closer look at the Government costs where an audit team will make sure that everything is justified and fair rental has been paid.”
