Abstract
In a poor country like Zambia where poverty levels are as high as 63% and the incidence of rural poverty as high as 78%, every ngwee counts and should therefore be collected and spent for the intended purpose and beneficiaries.
Misappropriation of funds increased the misapplication and wasteful expenditure also worsened while un-retired imprest amounts increased. Contrary to the approved budget of 2010, the government incurred unconstitutional excess expenditure and billions of revenue was un-accounted for. This money belongs to the Zambian people and should therefore be collected so that it can be used to better the lives of the Zambian people.
Description
The misappropriation of funds in the 2008 and 2010 budget.
