    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the National Treasury has always lived a lie by giving optimistic economic projections. The projection that was given in this BPS of 2019 and medium term are not anchored in any major policy of Government and project implementation, but they are still based on factors beyond control of Government like weather. The Government is telling you that the economy will do well, if the weather condition is good. So, they are living in the hope of hopes that if God can favour us and there will be rain next year, then this economy will do well. If there will be no rain and the weather will be bad, the economy will be bad. What kind of policy statement is that in the 21st Century that a Government is still relying on rainfall for economy to do well? It just shows you how Treasury has remained archaic in the ways of doing things. Some ongoing projects under infrastructure and industry which could have boosted economic growth have experienced delays in implementation because of inadequate resource allocation in the previous years, and there is no indication on how any prevailing challenge will be addressed to ensure that the targets of 2019/2020 are met."
