Norton MP Richard Tsvangirai has taken a proactive approach in involving various community stakeholders in the discussions surrounding the 2025 national budget.

In a statement posted on Facebook Monday, Tsvangirai emphasized the importance of collective input for effective budget planning.

“We had a fruitful discussion about issues related to the 2025 national budget with city fathers, civic organisations, students, youth groups, vendors, and SMEs today,” Tsvangirai reported. He stressed the significance of these conversations in shaping a budget that addresses diverse community needs.

The national budget hearing is scheduled to be held at Pakarepaya on September 30, 2025, at 2 p.m. Tsvangirai urged residents to participate actively in the upcoming hearing. “I’m pleading with residents to take part in this crucial activity because it facilitates better decision-making and increases the efficiency and equity of resource distribution,” he said.

Tsvangirai’s efforts reflect a commitment to inclusive governance and community engagement, aiming to ensure that the budget process is transparent and responsive to the needs of all stakeholders.
