DEVELOPMENT Activist in Kasama District, Charles Sinsunga, has called for an inclusive, transparent and people-centred 2027 National Budget that addresses the needs and aspirations of ordinary citizens.

Mr Sinsunga, says the national budget translates to this year’s development agenda.

“I expect that the Minister of Finance and National Planning will channel enough money to the office of the Auditor General and also the Anti- Corruption Commission (ACC),” Mr Sinsunga said.   

He stated that there is need for more funds to ensure transparency and accountability in the utilization of public funds.

Mr Sinsunga noted that fighting corruption is one of the ways in which the country can record tangible development.

And Mr Sinsunga further said the coming of free education entails more funding to the education sector.

“Free Education should be backed by procurement of more desks, books, recruitment of teachers, and enhancement of the school feeding programme,” he said.
