Commissions Watch 15th Nov 2018 [ZHRC Reports: Politically Partisan Distribution of State Aid during
Elections]
Opposition MPs have for years been raising complaints of partisan
distribution of State aid in both Houses of Parliament. The standard
Ministerial response has been that of course State aid must be distributed
on a non-partisan basis and that mechanisms exist to ensure that it is,
coupled with requests for details of particular cases so that remedial action
can be taken. These reports are replete with such details, and should be
taken seriously..
It is to be hoped that both ZHRC and MPs will press responsible Ministers
for information on steps their Ministries have taken or propose to take to
implement the ZHRC’s recommendations in these reports. The time to
start correctional measures is now – there are by-elections to being held
and a pattern of equal distribution of State aid must be established well
before the next election.
