Budget shortfalls impacting project completion, says Sports Minister
Sports Minister Abdulla Rafiu stated that the current budget lacks sufficient funds to complete various sports projects, causing delays. He made the remark during Wednesday's Parliament sitting while responding to MPs. The minister acknowledged delays and said reasons are being investigated. He noted that while advance payments allow project initiation, subsequent payment delays stall projects, forcing re-budgeting for the next year. Some projects are undergoing changes, facing further delays due to lack of additional funds. Rafiu said some projects will launch later in the year to ensure continuity, with remaining funds in next year's budget.
