    "content": "The other thing is that there has been a reduction in the development budget. If you look at the Supplementary Estimates, you will realise that the development budget has been reduced because of two reasons. In some instances, ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) do not have the capacity to use the money. Secondly, donors had promised to give money, but they have not done so. So, we must reduce the budget. The National Treasury must make sure that when they negotiate with our development partners for funding, they make them aware of the budget-making process and our timelines, so that they do not cause that kind of confusion at the end of the financial year. On the second matter of the absorption rate, it is important for MDAs to assess their capacity to implement their programmes, so that where they do not have sufficient capacity, they allow other MDAs with adequate capacity to use the money."
