The Public Accounts Committee (PAC), will commence inquiry into 2025 Supplementary Appropriation Bill today, Friday, July 18, 2025.

A statement from Parliament said the inquiry will continue over the weekend and, if required, may extend onto Monday, July 21, 2025, to ensure a thorough examination of the Bill.

The 2025 Supplementary Appropriation Bill seeks to authorise an additional expenditure of $913,780,527 for the service of the 2025 financial year ending 31 December 2025.

This additional funding aims to supplement expenditures already authorised by the Minister for Finance and Treasury under the 2025 Appropriation Act 2024, through contingency warrants and advance warrants, to meet the government’s financial obligations for the current fiscal year.

Apart from that, PAC will review 2024 Supplementary Appropriation, government approved last year.

Minister for Finance previously issued contingency warrants and advance warrants for supplementary expenditure totalling $42,545,415 under the 2024 Appropriation Act 2023.

PAC reiterates its commitment to ensuring accountability and transparency in the use of public funds.

The proceedings will be livestreamed via the official Parliamentary streaming platform.
