8 Government Spending


The People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) says the David Granger administration appears to have created a parallel treasury as it expressed concern over the exorbitant spending that has been taking place without the apparent lawful and financial processes being followed. The Party, on Saturday, called on Finance Minister Winston Jordan to release a full account of all the monetary and non-monetary contributions received by the Government during the past two weeks. It stated that the recent spending by the Government since it took office lacks accountability and transparency as the PPP/C demanded clarification on several pressing issues.

The data still seems to be collected given a mid year report published beginning of October which shows actual spending of 2014: http://www.finance.gov.gy/images/Docs/Mid%20Year%20Reports/Mid%20Year%202015.pdf
