The National Assembly notes, in a note, that the joint opinion report on the OGE proposal for the 2025 financial year was approved this Tuesday with 30 votes in favor, 14 votes against and no abstentions.
More than 60 recommendations are in the report, namely linked to the sectors of education, public finances, construction, ex-combatants and veterans of the country, agriculture, health, defense and security and others.
The deputies defended more disclosure of the resources that affect agriculture and industry, recommending an explanatory note on the current status of grain, fisheries and livestock promotion programs.
Recommendations include the need to improve the logistical conditions and quartering of personnel of the National Police and the Angolan Armed Forces, especially at the level of communes and municipalities, and the acceleration and approval of the status of former combatants and the regularization of their salaries.
On the other hand, they urged the executive to improve the quality of public spending, particularly in the sectors most critical to the country's development, clarity of budgets allocated between education levels and greater supervision in the management and distribution of textbooks.
The OGE 2025 proposal, which estimates revenues and sets expenses at the same value, of 34.63 billion kwanzas, was generally approved on November 15th and returns to the plenary on Thursday for a final global vote.
This Angolan macroeconomic management instrument already includes funds for the three new provinces, resulting from the country's new administrative division, and provides for high debt service that will absorb almost 50 percent of budget expenditure, totaling 16.5 billion kwanzas, with 12.45 billion kwanzas allocated to debt repayment.
