Parliament on Thursday approved the K1, 841, 441, 814, 224 trillion revised budget after a marathon debate by lawmakers and responces by Finance and Economic Development Minister Joseph Mwanamvekha.

“The motion is carried. Congratulations Minister of Finance,” said Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Madalitso Kazombo.
