A national budget that drew inspiration from political campaign rhetoric

On Friday, May 28, 2021, Finance Minister Felix Mlusu pronounced budget estimates for the 2021/2022 financial year and tongues have been wagging from all quarters of society on the pros and cons of his efforts.
Following a thorough consultative process by Ministry of Finance with all stakeholders across the board, the minister’s final output in Parliament shaped a narrative long yearned for by those who cast their vote for President Lazarus Chakwera and his Vice Saulos Chilima. With these budget estimates came a flicker of hope about short term fulfilment of most key campaign promises by the Tonse Alliance.
