National Federation Party Parliamentarian, Lenora Qereqeretabua says the 2020/2021 National Budget got off to a bad start as the Minister for Economy delayed the delivery by more than a hour.

While delivering her response to the 2020/2021 National Budget, Qereqeretabua says Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum did not give an explanation nor did he apologise for the delay.

Qereqeretabua says the people were waiting.

Qereqeretabua also today paid respect to people and groups who have used their own resources to reach out and help the desperate families.
