Last year the expenditures of the Ministry had exceeded the warranted provision by P8 159 977, contrary to the requirements of the finance warrant issued to the Accounting Officer. These over-expenditures had occurred because of the Departments of Wildlife and National Parks and of Meteorological Services that had exceeded the authority of their departmental warrants. In the year under review the Ministry’s over-expenditure of P1 172 755 through the same departments as in the previous year clearly shows lack of financial and expenditure control on the part of these departments
