Speaker of the House of Representatives said: “I will reject any document sent to the parliament until the budget document is amended”
The speaker and some members of the Wolesi Jirga, the Lower House of the Parliament, on Monday blamed President Ashraf Ghani for his lack of awareness on the Constitution’s definition of the authorities of MPs, claiming that the president is "deceiving the people" by excluding projects from this year’s budget plan
The budget and finance committee of the House said the government takes over Afs36 billion from the International Monetary Fund but details of how the money will be spent are unclear. Also, millions have been allocated from the national budget for the purchase of armored vehicles, which has given rise to debate
