[OOC: IKK is more than welcome to prepare a more detailed breakdown of expenditures within his Ministry and submit them to the GM for approval. But he (or any other Minister) cannot unilaterally change general expenditure levels, decide that specific programmes or services have been discontinued after funding has been allocated to them, or declare that there is left-over funding.]Originally posted by Barkeep49
[ooc: But could not IKK as minister change what programs are being funded? Since we have no idea what these programs are they could be changed this one time to meet IKK's goals as long as it falls under the right rubric as the proposed radio staiton would. Am I wrong here? ]

okay what is this???
-sports??? where we spend that money??
-communication and media??? state publicity is that it??? we don't ahve any public tv etc...
Ask the relevant Ministers.
[OOC: As I said: I have no problem with you preparing a more detailed breakdown of *what* the money has been spent on (to be approved by GM). But you cannot decide that it hasn't been spent; for purposes of gameplay, money allocated is money spent. See my reply to Barkeep49.Originally posted by I_Killed-Kenny
[OOC: I'm the relevent minister, so I'm doing what he askedasnwering myself...
