Tubuh badan khas pantau perbelanjaan kementerian, kata Puad

Bekas ahli Majlis Kerja Tertinggi Umno Puad Zarkashi has called for the creation of a special body to monitor expenditure, aimed at preventing overspending by various ministries in Budget 2027. He highlighted that the current system allows ministries to overspend their allocated budgets, with the Department of Rural and Regional Development (KKDW) exceeding its allotted funds, leaving contractors without payments even after completion of work.

Puad was surprised to find out that the Ministry of Education (KPM) had returned a significant amount of unspent funds to the pool during his tenure. He expressed his concern about the bureaucracy, information system inadequacies, and lack of accountability within ministries. He also pointed out that the discrepancy between allocated budgets and actual expenditures has reached RM2.1 billion, with the Finance Ministry claiming the issue has been resolved.
