Calling the proposed 2018 national budget “visionless,” PPP/C parliamentarian Clement Rohee last Thursday accused government of continuously feeding “empty promises” to the nation.
“We expected the budget to reflect to a larger extent the social and economic challenges facing the country and the people,” the former security minister told the National Assembly on day four of the budget debate.
He contended that the government and country are running on the foundation of citizens’ security that was laid by the former PPP/C administration. The former administration was voted out of office in May, 2015.
