SODELPA Leader Viliame Gavoka says it is very obvious that the Government is creating demand and putting money in the hands of the people and this is exactly what the Opposition has been saying for the last year or so.

Gavoka says they believe that it is the right way as they have been saying create the demand and the economy will recover.

He says at the same time, we have to look at the expenditure.

Gavoka says they have a team that will analyse and scrutinize the budget in the coming days and seminars will be organized with the parliamentary caucus.

On the issue of an alternative budget being presented by the Opposition, Gavoka says discussions will be held and nothing is definitive on this subject yet.
