Hon Maneli, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Public Service are the exact authorities responsible for leading the amendments on these legislative frameworks we have mentioned, which includes the Municipal Finance Management Act, the Public Finance Management Act and the Public Service Act. Having said so, we will nonetheless make our inputs into the amendments as per normal legislative review processes.
As part of this process, the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation in the Presidency subjects new laws and regulations to the Socioeconomic Impact Assessment System, Seias, process before submission to
Cabinet and Parliament. The assessments results will inform Cabinet if the revisions of the Public Finance Management Act and the Municipal Finance Management Act enable and facilitate rather than impede developmental objectives and effective and efficient implementation of programmes whilst ensuring accountability, transparency and combating fraud and corruption.
