The details are contained in the Shs3.5Trn supplementary budget laid before Parliament by Henry Musasizi, Minister of State For Finance in which Gov't is seeking for Parliamentary approval of Shs1.574 Trillion spent within the 3% legal limit before Parliamentary approval and Shs1.926Trn prior to approval of Parliament.
