CONSTITUTION OF ZIMBABWE
(2) When the estimates of expenditure, other than
expenditure charged upon the Consolidated Revenue
Fund by this Constitution or an Act of Parliament,
have been approved by Parliament, a Bill, to be
known as an Appropriation Bill, shall be introduced
into Parliament providing for the issue from the
Consolidated Revenue Fund of the sums necessary to
meet that expenditure and the appropriation of those
sums, under separate votes for the several heads of
expenditure approved, to the purposes specified
therein.
(3) If in respect of any financial year it is found
that the amount appropriated by the Appropriation
Act to any purpose is insufficient or that a need has
arisen for expenditure for a purpose to which no
amount has been appropriated by that Act, a supplementary estimate showing the sums required shall be
laid before Parliament and, when such estimates have
been approved by Parliament, a supplementary
Appropriation Bill shall be introduced into Parliament
providing for the issue of such sums from the
Consolidated Revenue Fund and the appropriation of
those sums, under separate votes for the several heads
of expenditure approved, to the purposes specified
therein.
(4) An Act of Parliament may make provision for
the President, where he is satisfied that there is an
urgent need for expenditure which was unforeseen or
the extent of which was unforeseen and for which no
other provision exists, to authorize the withdrawal
from the Consolidated Revenue Fund of moneys for
the purpose of meeting that expenditure and any
moneys so withdrawn shall be included in supplementary or additional estimates which shall be laid
before Parliament on one of the fourteen days on
which Parliament sits next after the authorization of
such withdrawal and, when such estimates have been
approved by Parliament, a supplementary or additional Appropriation Bill shall be introduced into
Parliament providing that the sums so withdrawn
shall be charged upon the Consolidated Revenue
Fund and that they shall be appropriated, under
separate votes for the several heads of expenditure
approved, to the purposes specified therein:
Provided that the aggregate of all moneys so authorized to be withdrawn shall not at any one time
prior to the consequential estimates having been
approved by Parliament exceed one and one-half per
centum of the total amount appropriated in the last
main Appropriation Act.
(5) If in respect of any financial year it is found
that any moneys have been expended for any purpose
in excess of the amount appropriated to that purpose
under this Chapter or for a purpose to which no
amount has been appropriated under this Chapter, the
Minister for the time being responsible for finance
shall cause to be introduced into Parliament on one of
the fourteen days on which Parliament sits next after
the extent of the unauthorized expenditure has been
established a Bill providing for the condonation of
such unauthorized expenditure.
(6) An Act of Parliament may make provision
under which, if the Appropriation Act in respect of
any financial year has not come into operation by the
beginning of that financial year, the President may
authorize the withdrawal of moneys from the Consol-
idated Revenue Fund for the purpose of meeting
expenditure necessary to carry on the services of the
Government during the period commencing with the
beginning of that financial year and expiring four
months thereafter or on the coming into operation of
the Act, whichever is the earlier:
