The Shadow Minister for Finance Tororo County MP Geoffrey Ekanya has announced that the opposition is going to present its tentative alternative budget 10 trillion shillings for the financial year 2014/15.
This came after government reading a budget of 15 trillion shillings which the opposition described as anti poor budget.
Ekanya says the yesterdays’ National Budget of 15 Trillion shillings which was presented by the Minister of Finance Maria Kiwanuka was too exaggerated which includes saying that allocating to the Ministry of works 2.5 Trillion shillings is a clear example that there was extravagancy when most of the materials used for road construction are got from Uganda.
He says most of roads are still incomplete and others have appeared on the National Budget for more than 3 times adding that it’s incredible that only 800 Kilo meters net work of roads has been completed in the last financial 2013/14 yet a lot of money was given to this ministry for roads.
He also calls fur down sizing of the cabinet,unnecessary public servants and RDCs to reduce on the cost of administration
