The state budget for last year carried what previous years' budgets carried. Through it, the state sought to complete the process of development and encourage investment structure that will create more jobs for citizens, drive economic growth and encourage small enterprises. Focus was on development projects in the social, municipal, water, sanitation, roads, electronic transactions and supporting scientific research fields. Another portion was devoted to the promotion of two sectors that always come at the forefront of the interest of your state, namely education and health. The budget did not overlook the security and military needs. We were keen to support those sectors with all human and automated requirements of weapons, equipment and others. We thank God that today we have a security and military force that we are proud of and are assure of its effectiveness - God willing - in maintaining security, defending the homeland and protecting the gains and achievements. --More 18:45 LOCAL TIME 15:45 GMT تغريد
