Authorities at the Ministry of Finance has announced the release of the first mid-year budget performance report which includes revenue and expenditure performance in the fiscal year 2012/2013 national budget.
Are ordinary Liberians feeling the impact of this new budget? We need to
know how many government projects were undertaken and completed by the GOL.
Most the money generated are making its way to individual government
officials pockets because their salaries and benefits alone take all the
money. Nothing is left for the ordinary people. God save Liberia and change
our thinking for the better.
MTEF,PSIP and HFO are some of the acronyms used in this budget report
story. How are these budget programs helping to solve the unemployment
currently at 80% problem in this post conflict country. In her second term
this president has yet to show a clear plan economic and otherwise to move
the country forward. The country is being run on an ad hoc basis after more
than six years in office. I do not want to discuss corruption and nepotism
at this time. Where is the vision from the leader for the country. There is
need for planned programs to invest in the country and its people. We need
indegenious programs tailored with practices from similiar post-conflict
countries like ours to inform our planning. Budgets are not just to fund
recurrent expenditures but to invest in the economy. Reporting acronyms and
numbers is one thing, accomplishing results and making progress is another.
