The House of Representatives on Tuesday passed for second reading, a bill seeking to extend the implementation of the capital component of the 2024 approved budget from June 30, to December 31, 2025.
The bill which was presented to the House by the Deputy Majority Leader, Ibrahim Abdullahi Halims, was titled: “A Bill for an Act to Amend the 2024 Appropriation Act to Further Extend the Capital Components of the Act From 30th June 2025 to 31st December, 2025 and for Related Matters (HB.2404).”
Speaker of the House, Abbas Tajudeen, while speaking on the bill, said the extension of the budget was necessary as the implementation of the 2024 had not been substantially done.
