The Parliamentary Opposition has described the Democratic Coalition for Change Government’s (DCCG) policy document as very ambitious and unrealistic given the timeframe and our financial capability.
Leader of Opposition Jeremiah Manele said if the document is going to be closely linked to the annual budget for the next four years, DCCG needs to further explain to this country how exactly it will foot the estimated annual budget of SBD$5 billion to implement its policies and work programs given the current state of our economy and the limited capacity of Government ministries to implement the projects and programs.
Mr Manele says with the 1 percent or less projected economic growth for 2015 and 2016, it will be impossible to sustain such as a budget.
