Kwara gets frame work for budget preparation

The Kwara State House of Assembly has approved a medium term fiscal frame work as a working document for the state and local government areas.

The framework is said to the guideline to use in preparing annual budgets between 2013 and 2015.

By the approval, the state and the councils’ expenditure and revenue generation will henceforth be guided by the frame work.

Deputy Speaker of the House, Prof. Mohammed Yisa Gana, who presided over the sitting in which the document was approved, praised the state governor for allowing his administration to be guided by the rule of law.

The House Majority Leader, Hon. AbdulGaniyu Abdulkareem, explained that the frame work would enhance transparency and accountability in governance.

The Chief Whip of the House, Hon. Audu Seidu Liman, emphasised the significance of planning, saying that the framework would block leakages in ministries, departments and agencies of government.

The House has also urged the state governor, Alhaji AbdulFatah Ahmed, to approve the channelisation of the runoff way from Danialu community along Gaa Akanbi- Agbabiaka Road.

The House made the resolution after receiving a report of the Committee on Energy, Works and Transport titled: “Appeal to correct the wrong channelisation of flood at Danialu along Gaa Akanbi-Agbabiaka Road.”
