Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Treasury boss Mthuli Ncube on Thursday tabled a ZWL$4.5 trillion 2023 budget against ZWL$8.7 bids from ministries and government departments.<\/p>\n

Addressing parliamentarians at the new Parliament building in Mt Hampden, near Harare, Ncube said ministries knew the budget funding ceiling but chose to ignore it.<\/p>\n

He urged ministries to not only adhere to the Budget Strategy Paper and Budget Call Circular but to also prioritise their programmes. He said:<\/p>\n

During the budget formulation processes, line Ministries submitted total bids of over ZWL$8.7 trillion, more than double the available envelope, presenting an allocation challenge.<\/p>\n

This notwithstanding, a Budget Strategy Paper and Budget Call Circular with indicative ceilings for each MDA and an overall indicative available revenue collection of ZWL$3.4 trillion.<\/p>\n

Going forward, line Ministries are required to adhere to BSP and Budget Call Circulars ceilings when formulating expenditure proposals.<\/p>\n

This requires line Ministries to rigorously prioritise their projects and programmes.<\/p>\n

Ncube said the bulk of the funds in the 2023 budget has been allocated to ministries and independent Commissions. He said:<\/p>\n

With regards to 2023 Budget Vote allocations, line Ministries and Independent Commissions have been allocated a total of ZWL$3.7 trillion, whilst Constitutional and Statutory Appropriation have been allocated ZWL$532.6 billion and loan repayments ZWL$248.6 billion bringing the total Budget to ZWL$4.5 trillion.<\/p>\n

Ncube allocated only 18.5% of the budget to the educator sector which is lower than the 20% stipulated in the Dakar Declaration on Education.<\/p>\n
