Budget Debate begins this week,not missing- Saraki

Ahead of widespread speculation that 2016 budget was missing from the Legislative Chamber,the
Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on Wednesday announced that members of the red chamber will begin a three-day debate on the 2016 Appropriation Bill  from Tuesday next week.

Saraki, who stated this at the resumption of plenary on Wednesday, explained that copies of the document will be distributed to members  as from Thursday.
He urged members of the senate to indicate the day they would  wish to make contributions on the fiscal document at the Senate President’ office before the end of the week.
The development had therefore laid to rest, speculations that the  Senate’s copy of the 2016 budget estimates submitted to the National Assembly by President Muhammadu Buhari, on December 22, 2015, was missing.
