Magufuli to table Works ministry budget today

Work minister Dr. John Magufuli is today expected to present his ministry’s budget estimates for the 2013/14 financial year in the National Assembly which resumes its session after two days of rest.

The ministry’s budget is the biggest carrying most important infrastructure issues needed for the economic development in the country.

Meanwhile, the Deputy Speaker Job Ndugai last week cautioned some legislators in the National Assembly for lack of proper explanations as some of them have the tendency of contributing their views in contradiction to a particular issue in discussion without showing evidences to support their argument.

He wanted them to observe rules and regulations and standing orders that guide the parliamentary debating procedures.

Today’s ministry budget will be the 8th in a series of the ministries whose budgets for the 2013/14 financial year have been approved by the National Assembly since the budget session began on April 8 this year.

The ministries whose budgets have already been approved by the National Assembly include the ministry of Agriculture and Livestock development, Water development, Natural resources and Tourism, Ministry of defense, Home Affairs, Health and Social Services and Community development, Gender and Children.
