Public praises Parliament’s budget consultations ahead of 2026 plan

ByEnigma 808

The public is buzzing with praise for Parliament’s new approach to budget-making, with many saying it boosts trust in government programs. For the first time, Parliament took the budget process to the people, holding hearings across the country—even in remote areas—to gather input for the 2026 national budget.

Locals, like Mudzi West Councillor Cde Chipo Mutero, are thrilled, calling the consultations a breakthrough. People are demanding more funding for health, education, and social services, and pushing for a hefty increase in the Constituency Development Fund from US$50,000 to US$200,000 to better address local needs. The message is clear: the public wants a budget that works for them.
