[SOURCE, SOWETAN] Gauteng health and education departments are set to receive the lion's share of the province's R153bn budget for the 2022/2023 financial year.
This was revealed by finance MEC Nomantu Nkomo-Ralehoko as she delivered the budget speech on Wednesday at the Gauteng legislature.
Education is due to receive R59.7bn while the Department of Health will get R59.4bn.
Nkomo-Ralehoko said the 2022 Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) budget was the culmination of a protracted planning process, both at national and provincial level.
She added that the budget was tabled under a tight fiscal environment characterised by the economic impact of the pandemic, the negative impact of the July unrest on the economy and resultant negative investor confidence, and the ever-increasing levels of unemployment.
