 The Senate has passed the 2023 Appropriation Bill at 21.83 trillion Naira, an increase of 1.32 trillion Naira from the 20.51 trillion Naira budget proposal of President Mohammad Abu Hari. A breakdown of the budget indicates an allocation of 967.5 billion Naira for statutory transfers, 6.6 trillion Naira for debt servicing, 8.3 trillion Naira for recurrent expenditure, and 5.9 trillion Naira for capital expenditure. Details in this report. The Senate said an upward review of the 2023 Appropriation Bill was particularly important to improve the funding of some critical projects such as Zainik, National Population Commission, the Nigerian Army and other security agencies. Through the harmonious appropriation process, the executive submitted for funding some items of expenditure to the committee which were not included in the bill as submitted by the president or received inaugural funding. I want to take this opportunity to urge the executive arm of government to implement the 2022 Appropriation Act. We have also passed the supplementary budget for 2022. Meanwhile, the Senate set up a special committee to engage the central bank to get clear details of what the ways and means advances which the president is seeking approval of is all about. This was after the Senate turned rowdy on account of the controversy which led to its beans stood down. Senators Betty Apiafi and Aleem Dume voiced the concerns that they lacked documents conveyed in full details or the ways and means is meant for. Why the report should be presented is for us to know what happened and then you can raise your point of order. Came into this chamber this morning and documents that we are supposed to use for the day is supposed to be distributed to us. We have considered many. Now it is now it is now that the chairman of finance committee distributed four page report to two. It's four pages with the signatures including the signatures of the senators. But it's only 2.719 trillion. Mr. President, it will be an abuse of our personal selves and against our privilege that we come here and it was requested that we are spending this money on behalf of Nigerians. This prompted the Senate president to set up the special committee after the Senate headed to a closed door session to resolve the matter. The special committee, the special committee to be chaired by the Senate leader, Senator Ebra Ablai Gowir. A week ago, President Mohamed Buhari had in a letter read in plenary said the ways and means are advances from the central bank to the federal government for emergency funding of the late receipt of fiscal deficit or expected cash.
