Gauteng Education & Health Department receive more budget

[SOURCE, SOWETAN] Gauteng health and education departments are set to receive the lion's share of the province's R153bn budget for the 2022/2023 financial year. This was revealed by finance MEC Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko as she delivered the budget speech on Wednesday at the Gauteng legislature. Education is due to receive R59.7bn while the Department of Health will get R59.4bn. Nkomo-Ralehoko said the 2022 Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) budget was the culmination of a protracted planning process, both at national and provincial level. She added that the budget was tabled under a tight fiscal environment characterised by the economic impact of the pandemic, the negative impact of the July unrest on the economy and resultant negative investor confidence, and the ever-increasing levels of unemployment. <a href="https://kaya959.co.za">Kaya 959</a>
