Reject budget, MPs urged

ECONOMISTS have urged Finance minister Mthuli Ncube to redo the 2024 budget as the one he presented this week only serves to condemn the rest of the population to abject poverty.

Ncube presented a ZWL$58,2 trillion 2024 budget on Thursday saying the domestic economy is projected to grow by 3,5% next year.

But renowned economist Gift Mugano said Parliament should reject the budget and order Ncube to work on a pro-poor budget.
