Howai met the THA representatives on August 5 to discuss the Assembly’s $4.95 billion request and promised to meet them again before he presents the budget on Monday.
London who will be accompanied by Finance and Enterprise Development Secretary Joel Jack among others said the Assembly was hoping to receive its fair share of the national budget and well above the 4.03 per cent which is the minimum percentage prescribed by the Dispute Resolution Commission (DRC).
He said he expects the Minister would agree to facilitate the Assembly’s efforts to source funding outside of the budgetary allocation for its housing development programme and other major projects.
