He said: “It is most unfortunate that everybody is living a different life now because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which calls for us to face the economic reality.

“The COVID-19 has affected economic activities and revenues of the government, and so it became necessary to review our budget.“By the revised budget, it means that so many things have to change.
