It remains a deficit because the money was allocated and was meant to be spent. It may also be an indicator that the corruption purge is working. More officers are afraid to append signatures to the procurement papers where most of the money disappears.
It over-allocation - Big unrealistic budget. I think parliament should use this report to re-allocate the money to ministries with ability to spend - for example for building roads, rails, water supply, sewage and electricity.
June is always a busy month in most parastatals and ministries. Workshops, luncheons, reports being launched, trainings etc. The activity is at fever pitch "to absorb the allocations." Then they return excess change. Over and over again every year.
