Next ADP outlay to be Tk 100,000cr: minister
The outlay for the annual development programme for the next fiscal year will be Tk 100,000 crore, Planning Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal said in a statement yesterday.
An amount of Tk 20,000 crore to Tk 25,000 crore will be allocated for mega projects, he added.
The ADP allocation is expected to get priority in a number of sectors like education, health, rural development, communication and transport, power and ICT.
The minister said each lawmaker will be able to place a project with the Executive Committee of National Economic Council on a priority basis from next fiscal year.
Under this project, a member of parliament will be allocated Tk 20 crore for five years.
However, the MPs cannot spend the money directly, he said. The legislators have to place their demands with the Local Government Engineering Department, which will implement the projects.
