The committee found that for the 2024/2025 budget year, all Districts and the City of Kigali were initially allocated 839,937,890,147 Rwandan Francs, which was later increased by 407,128,421,242 Frw, bringing the total to1,247,066,311,389 Frw. This adjustment was approved by the District Councils under Article 11 of Organic Law N° 002/2022.OL of December 12, 2022, governing public finance management.
As of December 31, 2024, a total of 536,262,390,510 Frw had been spent, representing 43% of the total budget.
After reviewing the report, Members of Parliament urged the Prime Minister to instruct relevant Ministries to address the identified issues related to their budget planning and the preparation of the 2025/2026 national budget, as well as the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) for 2025/2026–2027/2028.
Parliament will also continue to monitor unresolved budget execution issues from the 2021/2022, 2022/2023, and 2023/2024 fiscal years, along with those still under review during the committee’s outreach.
