Lesotho Budget Speech 2010

Our Minister of Finance, Dr Tim Thahane (see also Who's Who) delivered the Lesotho 2010/11 Budget Speech on Friday. The theme was 'an aggressive domestic resource mobilisation and expenditure prioritisation is an imperative'.

HERE is an excellent summary of the speech from a Brunei website (!) and HERE is a summary by a local news website. Some of the opposition parties dislike the speech claiming it had little new in it (not sure you want much new stuff when the fiscal position is so difficult - myself I prefer caution and a conservative tone in such situations). HERE is some commentary/opinion from the same local news site.
