2022 Budget: Parliament sets up 20-man team to deal with impasse

The leadership of Parliament has constituted a bi-partisan Committee to resolve the disagreements over the approval or otherwise of the government’s 2022 budget statement and economic policy.

The Committee is composed of ten members from each side of the house.

The modalities as to how this committee will operate will be set out when the house convenes today, Thursday, December 2, 2021.

However, despite the tussle over the approval or otherwise of the 2022 budget statement, some committees of the house have commenced consideration of the budget estimates for the 2022 fiscal year.

The committees considering the estimates are Roads and Transport, Food, Agriculture and Cocoa Affairs, and the constitutional, legal and parliamentary Affairs.
