This budget is possible and we can manage it – PM Rabuka

This budget is possible as we have worked through it and projected the activities required in the allocations, we can manage and it will work.

These were the words of Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka after the budget announcement today.

Rabuka says this was the result of the consultations that they were having in cabinet and it is the best that this coalition government can afford at this time.

He says as the Minister of Finance has said, we have to come out of the difficult situations that we are in and it will be like a surgical operation where you cannot do it without drawing blood.

Rabuka further says this budget will cause pain but he believes the coalition government has reduced the pain with what should have been done when trying to recover from such a big difficult situation that the country has been in.
