Yes, the top objective of the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning is managing public finances ensuring transparency and accountability – catering for government sectors financially and streamlining tax collection countrywide. If one could ask, has the ministry (previous ministers) adhered to this objective? Certainly we may or not have the answers.
