Gov’t seeking $44.7B supplementary provisions from Parliament

Dr Ashni Sing

Despite presenting a $552.9 billion “historic” and “transformational” 2022 budget in January, the Irfaan Ali government is now asking the National Assembly to approve $44,794,011,175 in supplementary provisions.

Financial paper No 1 of 2022 was tabled in the House yesterday by Senior Minister with Responsibility for Finance Dr Ashni Singh and will be considered at the next sitting.
