Parliament okays budget
22 January, 2013
KABUL: Afghanistan's parliament approved the budget for next year only four days after the majority of lawmakers voted against it. The lower house previously contested the budget for Persian year 1392 (Mar 2013-Mar 2014) citing an "unequal distribution of funds" across provinces, a $70 million payment to Kabul Bank, and a large budget for the presidential palace that surpassed the combined allocations for the judiciary and legislature. End.
