Members of the Kwara State House of Assembly have expressed displeasure over zero performances of Ministries and parastals on the implementation of budget.

Mallam Idris Sunaboro representing Ilesha/Gwanara constituency while contributing to the Bill on revised supplementary appropriation for 2012 advised the House committee chairmen to assess the activities of ministries and parastatals before approving the estimated budget.

He argued that some ministries and parastatals recorded zero percent in 2012 budget which called for total scrutiny.

Alhaji Sabi Ibrahim representing Okuta /Yashikira constituency called for monitoring of the implementation of the budget, adding that most of the ministries and parastatals had neglected their constitutional responsibility on the Internally Generated Revenue.

He said that more effort was needed on the generation of IGR for the government to be able to perform its duties as expected.

A member representing, Esa-Shawo-Igbodun constituency, Alhaji Hassan Oyeleke blamed the outdated system of budget preparation and called for increased oversight functions by the House committees to ensure budgetary performance, pointing out that professionals could be engaged in that direction.
