Appropriation Bill
Before adjourning for the 2022 festive season, the House passed the Appropriation Bill for the 2023 Fiscal Year.
An Appropriation Bill, also known as a Supply Bill or Spending Bill, is a proposed law that authorises the expenditure of government funds.
It is a bill, which sets money aside for specific spending.
In some democracies, approval of the Legislature is necessary for the Government to spend money.
