    "content": "We are also on a programme-based budget but we noted that there was low absorption in our sector. A lot of it was explained on delayed or inadequate Exchequer release. What was interesting was that the targets had been achieved. If they were achieved with 30 per cent absorption, then it means that we did not need that money in the first place. I do not think that is the case. The data that we are using is not correct. If data is brought to us so that the process can go on and it bears no relation with reality, we shall be wasting time. Data does not lie. During the Coalition Government in this country, there was performance contracting which was useful. The targets and indices were looked at very carefully. Ministries were even ranked. Therefore, you had no option but to have your programme, target, indices and get checked. We need to go back to that. That is what a BPS says, to give you direction on how to move. We know that the President is keen to get the unit that monitors development. If you do not have clear programmes, targets, indices and timelines, how can you monitor development? That is what you see. At this point, it is not so much about the amount of money, but it is how to raise it. That will come in the Budget Estimates. We did not see that."
