In his remarks, Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture, commended the media and other stakeholders in the ministry for their support and resilience in the discharge of their duties.
He said that the public presentation of the budget was among the platforms created by the government for stakeholder to come together to share ideas.
“Government must have a way of getting feedback of what is being done and that is why we started the town hall meetings.
“It is a platform to showcase what the government is doing and also to get feedback from members of the public,” he said.
