COVID-19: Senator Barau hints on roll over of 2020 budget
Reacting to inquiries by DAILY POST on budget related issues that might impede the implementation of the 2020 Appropriation, the lawmaker said the upper chamber was taking note of difficulties being encountered by Chief Executives of agencies of government with reference to capital projects component of the Appropriation.
“Where we are now is the Chief Executives of various Ministries are working round the clock to construct the procurement process. “It’s when agencies of government get funds that they will switch into action to implement capital aspect of the budget; so this is the stage we are now.”He expressed fears that budget performance would be low, but said, rolling over capital project in the Appropriation act into the following year is normal in legislative consideration of budgets.
“We cannot measure budget implementation until procurement processes are concluded and as it stands, it will take a while for us to see the extent of budget implementation.
