The Senate has been keeping the Presidency's special committee waiting over the 2016 budget for certain reasons, Vanguard says.

According to reports, the document was still not ready for Mr. President’s signature despite several assurances to that effect.

It's said that members of the National Assembly committee were hard put to remove most of the vexatious items as demanded by the President and restore the votes originally earmarked for other projects and services.

People familiar with the matter said the major problem with the budget was how to remove most of the ‘padding’ from the budget and get the money allocated to them into other uses. It was learned that some members were protective of their projects and were not too keen to get them, and the amount attached to them, off.
