WHILE the budget session in the federal and provincial assemblies is in progress, some members of the two Houses of parliament have again raised the need for an independent office within parliament to provide an unbiased analysis of the annual budget to the legislators. The argument is that if members of parliament have to debate various aspects of the budget as informed legislators and exercise oversight on the executive’s produced budget, they need support from an entity which is outside the control of the executive so that the numbers produced by the Ministry of Finance for the budget and by the Ministry of Planning and Development for the Public Sector Development Programme can be scrutinised and independently verified before the parliamentarians provide their feedback and input during the budget debate. In fact, a member of the National Assembly had introduced a private member’s bill titled the ‘Parliamentary Budget Office Bill, 2025’, in the Assembly last year.
