We observe and feel that there is colossal wastage of public money due to lapses, irregularities, negligence of duty, corruption and lack of proper supervision and vigilance on the part of some of our authorities concerned.

For the sake of accountability and transparency of public money we would request our Ministry of Finance to kindly let us know the following financial expenses/losses during the financial year 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 in the interest of public service:
1) Expenses on TA & DA of ministers, MPs, government officers visiting foreign countries.
2) Expenses on purchase of new vehicles, fuel cost, repair and maintenance of government transports.
3) Expenses on grant of honorarium and overtime allowance to the officers and members of staff.
4) Expenses on holding of iftar parties, state functions and celebrations.
5) Systems loss on electricity, WASA and natural gas supply.
