2015 Budget may come early, government eying Presidential poll in January

September, 30, 2014

The 2015 Budget may be presented to Parliament earlier than usual this year, said Minister of Mass Communication and Media Keheliya Rambukwella during a media briefing a short while ago.

He said since the Appropriation Bill for 2015 had been presented earlier than in other years the Budget too would be similarly presented earlier.

He added that this was also since the government is looking at possibilities of holding a Presidential election in January 2015, but this has still not been confirmed.
