The Minister of Finance shall, at the earliest convenient moment in each financial year, introduce in the House of Representatives an Appropriation Bill outlining the estimated expenditures, categorized by service, for the upcoming financial year, excluding statutory expenditures.

Whenever actual or projected expenditures in a financial year exceed the allocated sum for a service or relate to a new service not provided for in the Appropriation Act, the Minister of Finance shall prepare and lay before the House of Representatives statements of excess or supplementary estimates for voting.

Upon approval, the Minister may introduce a Supplementary Appropriation Bill to cover the voted expenditures.

Following the end of each financial year, the Minister shall introduce a final Appropriation Bill incorporating any previously unaccounted expenditures.
