 Civil Society organizations, groups working in different thematic areas of open government partnership, OGB have asked Cardinal Government, State House of Assembly to stick to the provision of the medium-term expenditure framework, MTEF, in preparing its annual budgets for the years 2024 to 2026. The media appealed at a one-day engagement with CSOs and other relevant stakeholders for maximum input on budget drafting documents in Cardinal State. Speaking of the Commissioner of Planning and Budget Commission, Muqtab Murovye assured periodic engagement with Civil Society to ensure government programs on agriculture and human development. The report of the last two quarters from January to July to August is called zero percent in terms of cash allocation, you know, to execute activities in the health sector. So that's why we are saying, when they are planning this as this empty, let it be the guide for them to do the realistic budgets that will help us to perform better. The first engagement that we are doing for the budget, we are bringing the Civil Society organization, medium-term expenditure framework to expose it to the public, to the Civil Society, to look at the document and the criticizes and give their own input so that at the end of the day, we are going to have a very good base for the budget for 2024. Call for the Civil Society, they have especially in Kaduna, is for them to work together. They should have a common front to work together so that the citizens and the resident in Kaduna will enjoy from their activity. Let's say MTEF provide multi-year fiscal planning and budget formulation process. Their neighbors' government sets fiscal targets and allocates resources to strategic priorities. I'll call, I saw this being one, stick to MTEF profession, ask our assembly to make sure that they stick to MTEF in streamlining the 2024 budgets when it comes to them so that at the end of the day, we have good performance and in terms of budget distribution for the people of Kaduna State. Most of the problem we have around the MTEF and the budget in Kaduna is cashbacking around health, which is affecting most of the quality services in facilities, especially around human resource for health. It has also, you know, increased the maternal data in Kaduna, which we have been battling for. But the health insurance, that's no amount that has so far been released for the fourth quarter of 2018, that means between January and June, a penny has not been released to that effect, which is key. Because talking about insurance is where we have poor people, so to say, the people under my poverty for example now, under joint protection, they are in this key health sector talking about health insurance. So that is not arguing well with us as far as we are concerned, we are not happy with that. That simply means the poor and vulnerable people in the state will not be able to have access to basic ethnic in the state.
