<vote /> There were delays in presenting the mid-term budget review, sparking speculation that the Government had cancelled it. However, Minister Patrick Chinamasa said the process was delayed because of other Government commitments.

He said,

The Mid-Term Budget Review statement is coming, I will deliver it on Thursday September 8. We delayed because of commitments and my unavailability but that helped us in a way because we now have all data for the month of June which is a new thing altogether. All data has been processed and I will present it on Thursday.

Chinamasa is also expceted to speak on the savings made as a result of the rationalisation which saw Government freezing recruitments and promotions in the civil service.

The Minister of Finance said,
