Because of the national general elections, the Ombudsman Commission is controlling the expenditure and disbursement of public funds, pursuant to Section 27(4) of the Constitution.
“This is to avoid the current Member of Parliament from being tangled during the campaign period by disbursing public funds towards projects and services within their electorate,” said the watchdog.
“No funds will be released unless clearance has been sought from the Ombudsman Commission.
