May I take this early opportunity to thank the House and Members of Parliament for affording us the opportunity to move the Vote for the Ministry of Finance. Further, I thank the Chair and the Members of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade for having constructively discussed this Vote when I presented the same before them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I present to the House the Ministry of Finance Budget for 2009/2010 Fiscal Year, allow me, as a guide, to give the mandate of the Ministry as set out in its Vision, which is; “To be a world class institution in economic and financial management.” To realise this Vision the Ministry has set its Mission which is; “The creation of an enabling environment for accelerated sustained economic growth through pursuit of prudent economic, fiscal and monetary policies and co- ordination of Government financial operations.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, during the period under review, the Ministry in collaboration with stakeholders and with a view to enhancing financial management in the public sector, carried out a number of reforms under the following key areas.
