Members of the House of Representatives have restated their concerns over the poor implementation of the 2012 budget.

The lawmakers, who had expressed their displeasure over the poor implementation of the budget in July, once again debated the issue in plenary.

The debate was however cut short as the lawmakers resolved that it may be richer in content if conducted after committees have carried out an extensive oversight of all the MDAs (Ministries Departments and Agencies).

It’s been over eight weeks since the House of Representatives expressed its displeasure at what they termed the ‘‘low implementation of the 2012 Budget”.

They challenged the executive to ensure the level of implementation improves before they return from their recess, adding that this debate is to gauge how the executive complied with their recommendation.


The House however resolved that in the first week of October, committees will embark on a week-long oversight to verify, once and for all, the actual level of implementation of the 2012 budget.
