The Senate will pass this year’s budget before the end of next month, Ali Ndume said yesterday. The Senate Leader said the 2015 budget would end next month and it was the desire of the Senate to pass the 2016 budget before that time.
Ndume said contrary to reports in the media, the Senate did not suspend its passage indefinitely, but only said February 25 “may not be feasible”. The Senate Leader noted that it was the wish of the National Assembly to pass the budget five weeks before the expiry of the period set for the implementation of the 2015 budget.
