The National Assembly on Tuesday evening approved a budgeted 2018 expenditure of $32 billion for the Ministry of Public Infrastructure but not before the subject minister was peppered with questions on how it could be designing and supervising projects and paying itself for them.
Of the total sum approved, $7.8 billion was allocated for Current Expenditure while $24.1 billion was approved for Capital Expenditure.
Included in current expenditure is $2.2 billion for the maintenance of infrastructure such as roads, bridges, drainage and irrigation works and sea and river defences.
