Senate committee examines pattern of withheld federal funds amid political tensions.
The Senate Committee on Finance has summoned the Accountant-General to explain the criteria used to withhold federal allocations from certain states.
Officials revealed that funding was frozen pending resolution of legislative disputes and governance breakdowns.
Some senators defended this move as a tool to enforce good governance, while critics warned it penalized ordinary citizens.
The committee has vowed to produce a report with recommendations on ensuring timely disbursements in future.
