The Senate on Thursday announced the postponement consideration of the 2018-2020 medium-term expenditure framework (MTEF) and fiscal strategy paper (FSP).
John Enoh, chairman, senate joint committee on finance, appropriation and national planning, who made this known at plenary, attributed the action to some “discrepancies’’.
The MTEF/FSP, which provides the parameters upon which the national budget is prepared, was slated for debate and consideration on Thursday.
Enoh said there are some matters that are contained in the report “that we need to consult further with the joint committee in the house of representatives”.
