OGUN STATE 2012 BUDGET !!! So far So Bad.

 OGUN STATE 2012 BUDGET

The Ogun State 2012 Budget as pathetic as it
is has been very poorly implemented.
In the coming weeks, I will be previewing the
2012 Ogun Budget but it must be known
that;
•The SIA-led government embarked on lots of
extra-budgetary spendings.

•Capital projects not captured in the 2012
Ogun Budget were implemented. There was
no virement or supplementary Budget even if
it became absolutely necessary to implement
such (I challenge ANY government official to
tell me the sub head and page where the
'Model Schools' are)

•The Ogun 2012 Budget failed to capture the
core policy thrusts (Mission to Rebuild) of the
Administration. The 5 cardinal programmes
were poorly representated.

•The Ogun State House of Assembly needs to
step up on Budget scrutiny, analysis and
research.

•The Ogun State House of Assembly needs to
step up on Legislative oversight.

•There were lots of 'copy and paste'
including avoidable errors in the Ogun 2012
Budget.

Now, the big questions are;
* When will the draft Ogun state 2013 Budget
be presented to OGHA by the Executive?

* 32 days to the end of the year 2012. When
will the draft Ogun state 2013 Budget be
thoroughly looked at and passed by OGHA?
