More than 20 initiatives in 2018 Budget untouched-Ram&McRae

Dec 04, 2018 News

While the government and political opposition are engaged in the budget 2019 debates, Ram and McRae Chartered Accountants have highlighted in a comprehensive report that the coalition administration is yet to touch in excess of 20 initiatives outlined in its 2018 budget.
The accounting firm said that these include the Investigative Commission on Corruption, Law Revision and Reform; Draft Public Debt Management Bill; Justice Reform; Public Sector Investment Programme and Public Procurement; a National Agricultural census; and the development of a bond market and replacement of the Securities Industry Act.
The firm also highlighted that issues including the return to free collective bargaining, campaign financing and constitutional reform which were fundamental policies of the Alliance For Change (AFC), a number two in the Coalition Government, are yet to be properly addressed.
Ram and McRae said, “A number of these are indeed important but there ought to be some priority attaching to policies and their measures.”
The company said it would be useful for Cabinet to have someone identify all these unfinished matters and appoint an Implementation Unit to address them in a systemic and orderly fashion.
