Mr R. Uteem (First Member for Port Louis South & Port Louis Central): Thank
you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, this Bill is being debated at a time where many
African countries are progressively moving away from Line Budgeting towards a system
which is more focused on the outcome and places more emphasis on results. The rationale for
this move is well explained by the collaborative Africa Budget Reform Initiative, a professional network of Senior Budget Officials in African Ministries of Finance
and
Planning. And I quote –
“The shift from traditional budgeting methods to modern budgeting methods with results and performance at its focus is noted to be more useful as a policy or decision-making tool and assures elected and administrative officials of what is being accomplished with the money as opposed to merely showing that it has been used for the purpose of approved inputs.
In moving towards performance budgeting, countries would be adopting a system of planning, budgeting and evaluation that emphasises the relationship between money budgeted and results expected. The process often requires a programme budgeting structure, which many African countries are moving towards and at a more advanced stage, incorporate explicit performance measures and systems of performance assessment including higher level of accountability with associated sanctions and rewards.”
