A special committee that will scrutinise Supplementary Budget for the fresh presidential election will be formed Thursday even as the opposition National Super Alliance (Nasa) opposed the naming of 12 Jubilee members to the team.
The formation is a stop- gap measure for Parliament to process the mini-budget and necessary Bills given that the House has not constituted substantive Budget and Appropriations Committee whose mandate is to scrutinise the expenditure plan as well as any Bills with implication to the taxpayer’s coffers.
