    "content": "The Committee wishes to point out that while the Budget Policy Statement for 2012 has broadly taken into account the provisions of the Fiscal Management Act and the Standing Orders, it failed to adhere to some pertinent provisions, notably; Section 7(3)(d) and (e) of the Fiscal Management Act that provides that the Budget Policy Statement should contain the total resources to be allocated to individual programmes within a sector or Ministry for the current financial year and succeeding three years and indicating outputs expected from such programmes during the period and, of course, the criteria used to apportion these resources among the Ministries and the individual programmes. This is as per the recommendations of the Committee over the period to ensure that we have programme-based budgeting to ensure the public is able to assess where resources and the outputs are put. However, the budgeting process has continuously missed these provisions making division of resources appear a mystery and we hope that this will change in future, hopefully, beginning with the finalization of the current Estimates."
