Readers will recall that two Mondays ago, the Minister of Finance presented to the National Assembly the 2017 Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure in accordance with Article 218 of the Constitution. During the last week, there was the general debate on the Minister’s budget speech, and beginning tomorrow, the Assembly is expected to resolve itself into the Committee of Supply to examine in detail the Estimates. The entire exercise is expected to be completed and the Estimates approved before the beginning of the new year.
