• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: In reviewing the BPS for the Financial Year 2019/2020, the Budget and Appropriations Committee considered the linkages between the policies outlined in the BPS and the broader policy documents, the realism of the macro-economic framework and whether the expenditure proposals are adequately funded. The Committee examined the alignment of the expenditure proposals with the medium-term strategic priorities of the Government as provided for in the Big Four Agenda to establish whether the outlined policy interventions meet the national development needs as well as the allocation of resources. view

• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: The Committee is concerned that the key drivers of the economic growth are facing significant downsize risks that would hinder the country from achieving its growth objectives.

• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is also instructive to note that the manufacturing sector continues to face challenges like shortage of capital, raw materials, skilled labour and inadequate access to finances in addition to a number of regulatory challenges. Competition in the services sector continues to be limited by factors such as high labour costs. Infrastructure projects continue to face delays in implementation, which in turn delays returns on investments. Sustaining an economic growth of higher than 6 per cent requires concerted efforts to enhance efficiency in the use of public resources. This calls for adoption of up-to-date technology and ... view

• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon.
