the Department of Energy Affairs, by letter dated September 2018, that they were in the process of finalizing the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018, and that they hoped to complete by October 2018. At the time of writing this report, the accounts had still not been submitted. 

## f) Revenue Stabilisation Fund 

As at 31 March 2018, the balance of this general revenue reserve Fund was P392 375 754, after withdrawal and transfer to the Consolidated Fund of P1 300 000 000 last year. 

## g) Sim’s Bursary Trust Fund 

In the year under review, the interest earned from cash held by Accountant General was P18 666. As in the previous year, no student had been identified for scholarship purposes because of the insufficiency of the interest income to meet the cost of sponsorships, hence nil expenditure. 

## h) Road Traffic Fines Fund 

The Road Traffic Fines Fund was established by Statutory Instrument No 40 of 2009 for the specific purpose of purchasing and maintaining traffic-offence-detecting devices and for complementing law enforcement measures of curbing road traffic offences. The Fund was funded by fines imposed for traffic offences, which were to be shared equally between the Consolidated Fund and the Fund. However, effective from April 2015, with the amendment of the Fund Order, the fines now accrue wholly to the Fund resulting in abundance of funds in the Fund. In the year under review the fines collected totalled P95 621 813. 

In consequence of the abundance of funds in the Fund, these had been applied to the general purposes of the Police Service beyond those contemplated in the Fund Order. Funds had been sub-warranted to the various branches of the Police Service for the furtherance of the activities of those branches, as in the expenditures allocated to the branches indicated for the purposes shown below:- 

 Transport and Telecommunications: Various vehicles and canopies (P55 588 911) 

 Traffic – Workshops, repair video camera, traffic batons, and road block signs (P2 321 604)
