Treasury CS Ukur Yatani was on Thursday bullish that the government will realise the big four agenda despite a reduction in the funding of the programmes in recent years. But speaking to journalists after reading the budget, Yatani said most of the projects captured under the big four will be completed by the end of the 2021-22 financial year. The programmes under the umbrella of the big four agenda are food security, affordable housing, universal health care and manufacturing. “We are also looking at the continuous implementation of the big 4 agenda because the agenda was not a one-year event. The CS also talked about the pending bills that have continued to balloon despite the president’s directive to clear the same.
