The Party of National Unity (PNU) says austerity measures announced by government need to be supported by figures if they are to be meaningful.

PNU president Highvie Hamududu says the Minister of Finance cannot just announce the measures to address debt and fiscal challenges without stating what the amounts are.
Mr. Hamududu says without stating how much will be saved from the announced austerity measures the pronouncements by the Minister will remain mere flowery intentions on paper.
He has told QTV News that his party is of the view that the Treasury must go further to indicate the exact amounts to be saved and where these savings will be applied.
Mr. Hamududu states that it is also important for the Ministry of Finance to clearly indicate all expenditure realignments.
