\u201cThe Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget performance indicates wide indiscipline in the budget execution. Six sectors overspent their budget among them includes, Economic, infrastructure, Public Administration, Rule of Law, security and Humanitarian,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bichiock added that three of the ten sectors budgeted were cheated as they underspent and they are; accountability, health, education and natural resource sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEconomic 26%, Public Administration 21%, Infrastructure sector 19% and all this had major shares of expenditure in the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 national budget. Rule of law, Security, Humanitarian, Natural Resource owns up to 16%, 15%, 2% and 1% of the budget outturn respectively. Education sector accounts for 7% of the expenditure budget in the fiscal year 2021-2022,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parliamentary finance committee\u2019s chairperson however stated that this year\u2019s budget has just been passed and the allocation is good as per the constitution saying their numbers of allocations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted that the education has been at least allocated 10% that is to be apportioned to schools especially the Ministry of General Education and Instructions has been captured already as well as the health sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe states have also been allocated for properly and I believe they will really make use of what they have,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bichiock underscored that the parliament is concerned on the living standard of the citizens not only now but for the last few years and even few months where the prices have shot up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are now engaging the responsible ministries like the Ministry of Trade and Industry because they are the ones to regulate the prices in the markets such that we have the real prices and why the prices of goods are really up,\u201d he lamented.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
