# The leader of Build One South Africa, Mmusi Maimane, has called for stronger parliamentary oversight of South Africa’s two-point-67-trillion-rand budget. Speaking during the Appropriations Bill debate in Parliament, he says the legislature must be better equipped with time, technical capacity and resources to scrutinise public spending effectively. Maimane warns that budgeting remains overly executive-driven, weakening accountability. He highlights funding gaps in key institutions such as Statistics South Africa and the National Prosecuting Authority, calling for reforms to strengthen Parliament’s constitutional role.
