Meanwhile, the NA will tomorrow kick off its week-long parliamentary programme to deal with the Budget Review and Recommendation Reports (BRRR). The BRRR period provides an opportunity for an in-depth assessment of the national government departments’ service delivery performances which may include recommendations on the forward use of resources. It is one of the most essential elements in the parliamentary programme as it empowers parliamentary committees to incorporate and consolidate budgetary oversight with other related oversight work for implementation of the service delivery issues by various committees.
