Bill Watch 31/2019
Progress on Bills
21 June 2019
regulations and instructions that are inconsistent with these regulations” – an
ingenious but decidedly unhelpful substitute for a list specifying regulations and
instructions that are intended to be repealed or amended.
These regulations have been too long in the making. The Public Finance
Management Act came into operation in April 2010. The Act repealed Acts such as
the Audit and Exchequer Act but made provision for the then regulations under the
repealed Acts to continue in force, pending new regulations. [Note: More than seven
years ago Veritas noted in Bill Watch 3/2012 of 31st January 2012 [link] that the then
Minister of Finance had publicised draft regulations and invited comments on them
from stakeholders and the general public. It has taken since then to actually gazette
the regulations.]
The regulations [link] are essential reading for all those involved in finance
management in Government Ministries and departments, independent constitutional
commissions, local authorities, parastatals and State-owned or controlled
enterprises.
