A decade following the implementation of federalism, questions persist regarding the budget’s alignment with its core principles. Current budgetary practices only partially embody the intended spirit of federalism. The analysis suggests a disconnect between the adopted political system and the financial resources allocated to support it. This indicates potential challenges in fully realizing the benefits of decentralized governance. Further evaluation is needed to determine the extent to which the budget adequately supports the objectives of federalism. The situation raises concerns about the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of the current model.
