00:00Madam Presiding Officer, for Fiscal 2026, the total estimates of expenditure amount to $3.71 billion, of which the estimates of recurrent expenditure amount to $2.71 billion, and development program expenditure total $1 billion.
00:20Unemployment Relief Program expenditure estimates amount to $91.9 million, and CPEP estimates of expenditure amount to $43.4 million.
00:35The total estimates of expenditure are predicated on projected national budget of $63.5 billion, and a requested share of 5.9%.
00:48Let me state here, Madam Presiding Officer, that any allocation to the THA in Fiscal 2026 that is less than 5.9% will constitute a non-alleviation of the per capita expenditure inequality that has defined the national budget and its appropriation bill since 1962.
