Leader of the Opposition Joseph Harmon on Tuesday declared that the 2021 budget was mostly vacuous and meaningless.
“[A] Budget is meant to be a template for development but [this one] is a testimony to disarray in the Government,” he told a virtual press conference yesterday
Harmon stressed that the budget was filled with “terminological inexactitudes” including a “reengineered truth about US$135 million from Norway.”
Minister with responsibility for Finance Ashni Singh in the budget presentation claimed that more than US$135 million that was earned by Guyana as part of a forest partnership agreement with Norway is sitting in bank accounts outside our economy.
