The Treasury has set in motion plans to have unfettered access to billions in surplus cash held by various departments in the next six months if Parliament approves a proposal to create a single account system.

The National Assembly committee on privatisation has tabled the proposal in Parliament that will see all ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) have a single Treasury account to ease the collection of surplus cash amid woes facing the Exchequer.
