2021 National Budget feedback meetings rolled out

Physical and virtual feedback meetings on the 2021 National Budget are going to be jointly conducted this week and next week by two Parliamentary committees the Portfolio Committee on Budget, Finance and Economic Development as well as the expanded Thematic Committee on Sustainable Development Goals.

All the meetings are open to public attendance and oral and written feedback from members of the public and organisations are welcome.

There will be two types of meeting:

· physical meetings in various centres around the country, as shown in the first four tables below, to be conducted by four teams consisting of members of Parliament who are members of the two committees; and

· virtual meetings, four of which will make use of four one-hour evening phone-in radio programmes, and one two-hour morning Internet webinar to gather feedback from the public – all as indicated in the fifth table below.

At physical meetings COVID-19 protocols will be strictly applied for those attending – masks, social distancing, numbers present, etc.
