Member of Parliament for Kaashidhoo constituency Abdulla Jabir has stated that he is supporting the budget proposed by the government to speed up the development of the country.
Jabir said this today in the Parliament, in the on-going debate stage of the Budget Committee's report.
Jabir said that he did not support the previous year's budget because it did not have much for Kaashidhoo. He noted that this year's budget includes budget allocations for a lot of things for Kaashidhoo.
Jabir said that one should speak about the budget after knowing things well. And that it should not be politicized.
"There is land reclamation in Kaashidhoo (in the budget). There is land reclamation in Gaafaru. And the plan to pave the roads of Kaashidhoo has been finalized. Water supply and sewerage system installation is almost complete in Kaashidhoo. Then how would I not vote for the budget?" said Jabir.
Jabir said that development projects have been planned for every region of the country.
The Finance Ministry proposed a MVR 42.6 billion budget to the Parliament. The Budget Committee added an extra MVR 160 million, so the budget now has a total of MVR 42.8 billion.
The addition to the budget includes MVR 36 million for the domestic budget of offices and MVR 124 million for the PSIP programs planned for next year.
For the PSIP programs and development projects planned for next year, MVR 14 billion was allocated.
The budget proposed by the state for 2023 was passed with the popular vote of the members of the Budget Committee.
