CHAPTER VIII FINANCE The Consolidated Fund Moneys charged upon the Consolidated Fund Authorization under Act of Parliament Parliament to prescribe manner of withdrawals Estimates Appropriation Bill 116. There shall be a Consolidated Fund into which shall be paid all revenues or other moneys raised or received for the purposes or on behalf of the Commonwealth of Grenada, and not being revenues or other moneys that are payable by or under an Act for some specific purpose or into some other fund established under an Act for a specific purpose. 117. Where any moneys are charged by this Constitution or by any law enacted by Parliament upon the Consolidated Fund or any other public fund, they shall be paid out of that fund by the Government of Grenada to the person or authority to whom payment is due. 118. No moneys shall be withdrawn from any public fund other than the Consolidated Fund unless the issue of those moneys had been authorized by or under an Act of Parliament. 119. Parliament may prescribe the manner in which withdrawals may be made from the Consolidated Fund or any other public fund. 120.(1) The Minister of Finance shall, not later than the thirtieth day after the beginning of each financial year, cause to be prepared and laid before the National Assembly the estimates of revenue and expenditure of the Government for the financial year. (2) The Minister of Finance shall, before presenting the estimates under clause (1), obtain the approval of the Cabinet in respect of the estimates. (3) The estimates of expenditure shall show separately – (a) the sums of money required to meet expenditures charged on the Consolidated Fund; and (b) the sums of money required to meet other expenditures, during the financial year. 121.(1) At the earliest convenient moment before the commencement of each financial year, but not later than the thirtieth day after the beginning of each financial year, the Minister of Finance shall introduce in the National Assembly an Appropriation Bill containing, under appropriate heads of the several services required, the estimated aggregate sums which are proposed to be expended (otherwise than by way of statutory expenditure) during that financial year. (2) Subject to the relevant provisions of this Constitution, the sums voted on the estimates of expenditure by the 76
National Assembly in respect of a financial year represent the limit and extent of the public expenditure for that financial year. (3) Where, at the end of a financial year, there is an unexpended balance of a sum of money voted on the estimates by the National Assembly in respect of that financial year, that balance lapses. (4) Parliament may make provision whereby, if the Appropriation Act in respect of any financial year has not come into operation by the beginning of that financial year, the Minister of Finance may authorise the withdrawals of moneys from the Consolidated Fund for the purpose of meeting expenditure necessary to carry on the services of the Government until the expiration of thirty days from the beginning of that financial year or the coming into operation of the Appropriation Act, whichever is the earlier. Insufficiency of appropriations Supplementary estimates 122. Where, in respect of any financial year, it is found (a) that the amount appropriated by the Appropriation Act for any purpose is insufficient or that a need has arisen for expenditure for a purpose for which no amount has been appropriated by that Act; or (b) that any moneys have been expended for any purpose in excess of the amount appropriated for that purpose by the Act or for a purpose for which no amount has been appropriated by that Act, a supplementary estimate, showing the sum of money required or spent, shall be laid before the National Assembly. 123.(1) The Minister of Finance may, in case of necessity, from time to time cause to be prepared supplementary estimates of expenditure, which shall be laid before and voted on by the National Assembly. (2) Where, in respect of any financial year, a supplementary estimate of expenditure laid before the National Assembly has been approved pursuant to subsection (1), the Minister of Finance (a) (b) may, at any time before the end of the financial year, introduce a Supplementary Appropriation Bill containing, under appropriate heads, the aggregate sums so voted; and shall, as soon as possible after the end of the financial year, introduce in that House a final Appropriation Bill containing any such sums which have not yet been included in an Appropriation Bill. 77
