The Minister of Finance, John Rwangombwa, Thursday presented the 2012-13 national budget, reflecting a 16 per cent increase in public spending – to Rwf1.38 trillion up from Rwf1.19 trillion in the current budget. It was projected that domestically, mobilised resources will amount to Rwf724.4 billion (more than half the total budget), as the country increasingly moves towards self-reliance.
