Its activities are regulated by the Finance Act (23.04), Public Finance Management Act (22.19), Treasury Instructions 2019 as amended, Treasury Circulars, Public Procurement and Disposal of Assets Act (22:23), the Appropriation Act and Accounting Officers Instructions and Circulars. The Administration Section provides material resources and services to the Ministry with a view of contributing to service delivery of the Ministry.

Prices were frequently rising to unprecedented levels thereby hampering progress across all aspects of the Ministry\u2019s operations.<\/p>
