The National Association of Young Entrepreneurs (ANJE) has renewed its call for improved controls on public spending. ANJE says that the government urgently needs to comply with Art. 25 and 36 of the National Development Strategy 2030 Law and enact a fiscal responsibility bill to establish consequences for omissions and deviations in the management of government revenues. “The country will not develop if the principal manager of the public funds, the government, acts without controls, without accountability, without consequences, executing public funds outside of the law,” says ANJE in a press release.
ANJE observes that the Ministry of Hacienda has yet to publish information on the implementation of the 2013 National Budget, in violation of Law 423-06 on the National Budget. It describes the Chamber of Accounts report on last year’s budgetary execution as “alarming”. The report detected deficiencies, omissions and deviations in registration of spending and public debt that affects the credibility of the reports presented by the government and could distort the reality.
