Details

IMF has published a report with aggregated government expenditure: https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/scr/2015/cr1527.pdf

However as the report states:

"[A] significant share of extra-budgetary expenditures (other than donor funded projects) remains unreported"

Which indicates that detailed transactional expenditure data does not exists except for maybe a subset of the data (although the IMF still finds this comprehensive). Without anything but an IMF report we cannot claim that this data exists.

Reviewer comments

Submission fixed.

IMF report is aggregated and as the report itself says, based on incomplete data.
