 The Minister of Fine and Zaynab Ahmad has admitted error in the budget of the Humanitarian Ministry as a 20 or 206 billionaire captured in the budget proposal of the ministry was wrongly coded by the budget office. The minister disclosed this during an investigative hearing by the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation on alleged insertion in the budget of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Defense. While admitting errors in the process, the minister said that 206 billionaire alleged insertion was for the National's Social Safety Net Project funded by the World Bank, which is domiciled in the project of the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and disaster management. I want to commend the ministry of finance, but also to clarify that that issue was not raised by the Ministry of Humanitarian, and from the explanation given, we concur totally that what has been provided is part of our project. The only mistake there was reporting, which has been clarified even before coming to this committee. And it's a project that is continuing. Equally with the Minister of Defense, I have a copy of the letter from the Minister of Finance written to the President Commander-in-Chief, it's approval to give the Minister of Defense money. We are having issues with the same committee here. Both committees in the House and the Senate, they want to remove the money. If he says he doesn't know about the approval, this is the copy of the approval from the President Commander-in-Chief. It is the same minister that we invited now to come and tell the committee about the approval. And if his committees remove that money, nobody will fault Appropriation Committee. They have the right. We invited him to come here. We would have come to the committee here and said he has discussed with the Minister of Finance, they have understand themselves. But we are hearing it from the Minister of Finance, without him here. So, permanent secretary, please tell your minister. It's not about even the Appropriation Committee inviting her. She has issues with her committees in the House. Most of the time, they invited her. She doesn't come to appear before the committee. Members were, however, not pleased with the continuous absence of the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs. Saddiad Farooq for her continued disregard for the House each time she is invited.
