By Alawi Masare The Proposed Sh19 trillion in budgetary allocation to the Ministry of Defence and National Service is woefully inadequate, MPs said yesterday. Lawmakers also said that it is not proper for the government to impose a ceiling on the defence budget, something which they argue could adversely affect operational efficiency of the military. They spoke after Defence and National Service minister Hussein Mwinyi tabled his docket's budget proposals for 2018/19. The Sh1.9 trillion plan is Sh200 billion more than the budget for the current financial year. Dr Mwinyi said the actual demand for the current budget was Sh3.2 trillion, but it was reduced to Sh1.7 trillion due scarce financial resources. Parliament's Foreign Affairs, Defence and Security Committee said that the actual demand for 2018/19 is estimated at Sh2.877 trillion. Tanzania: Over U.S$450 Billion Defence Budget Is Peanuts - MPs
