Now, Somnath wants spending on view

Accordingly, every three months, ministers will have to submit action-taken reports on the Standing Committee recommendations. The reports will also have to provide details of expenditure incurred under the various social sectors and other governmental schemes.

The view is, despite corruption, it can ensure that funds reach 8216;8216;the real beneficiaries8217;8217; and the Government becomes more accountable. And, once the reports are tabled, it becomes public property.

Under the existing system, bureaucrats go through Standing Committee reports and submit a routine note at the end of the financial year.
