Saying the emergency budget falls short of several key objectives, Leader of the Opposition Joseph Harmon yesterday announced that the APNU+AFC cannot offer its support for the passage of the estimates.
“It lacks vision. It falls short of… enhancing social cohesion, guaranteeing the peace and security of our people and [lacks] a practical methodological approach to dealing with COVID-19,” Harmon told the National Assembly during his contribution to the budget debate yesterday.
Harmon said that unless government was willing to review allocations in the three areas, he and the main opposition could not support the budget.
