Budget lacks credibility says Linton

​Opposition Leader, Lennox Linton, has described the 2016/17 budget as one which lacks credibility.

​He says this budget, like others in the past, is not the product of a  "effectively anchored by-partisan mechanism" to decide on and fund the growth and development priorities of Dominica.

In his rebuttal to the PM Skerrit's budget report Tuesday, Linton says this budget cannot be regarded as a contract between Government and the people as it is not clear or transparent.

He calls for the establishment of an effective and transparent budget formulation process.
