Speaking to reporters, Shoura Council Secretary-General Mohammed bin Abdullah Al-Amro described it as a historical budget, which covers all important areas including education, health, transport and social development.
He added that a closer look at the new budget would clearly indicate the interest shown in citizen-centric projects which would directly benefit the people.
The house pledged its support for the effective implementation of the budget proposals by coordinating with the relevant governmental organizations to execute the budget plans as envisaged by the king.
Considering the fact that the government has not asked the Shoura Council for their input on the budget before it was announced, their praise of this budget and their commitment to implement it is both impressive and hilarious.
