    "content": "One thing that I wish to also emphasize here to all Government departments that have the authority and the mandate of implementing this Budget is that we must observe certain basic tenets of expenditure. We must develop immediately absorption capacity, so that where we have allocated resources, we make sure that it goes where it is needed and absorbed in a timely manner. We should avoid the idea of coming late towards the end of the financial year and saying that we did not spend this money and we need a further chance to expend it. We need to develop that capacity early enough to enable us to use the money as allocated. Secondly, we need to develop a culture of frugality, efficiency and being effective in the way we use the taxpayers’ money. We require all Government departments that will be in charge of expending this money to ensure that they are prudent in doing what they are supposed to do."
