government in the pursuit of good governance because they are
committed to the task of socio-economic developments and

In general, the budget is the financial mirror of government policy.
Thus, to be an effective instrument, the budget should be as
comprehensive as possible. Two major issues are involved here: First,
if the budget excludes major expenditures, there can be no assurance
that scarce resources are allocated to priority programs and that
legal control and public accountability are properly enforced.
Second, the amount of expenditures not included in the budget is
itself often uncertain and opaque. In turn, this makes macroeconomic
programming more difficult and increases the risk of corruption and
waste. Budget comprehensiveness does not mean that all
expenditures should be managed according to the same set of
procedures. For efficiency, specific arrangements for administer some
programs may be established, provided that they do not lead to a
fragmented approach to budgeting and expenditure policy
formulation.
Out from the four stages, the bottleneck in the budget process where
implementation and movement happen lies in the budget
implementation.

The phrase “easier said than done” means it is more easily talked
about than put into practice. Basically, the Code of Conduct and
Ethical Standards in Public Office comprises the provisions on how to
promote high standard of ethics in public service and mandate
government functionaries at all times to be accountable to the people
and discharge their duties with utmost responsibility, integrity,
competence and loyalty, act with patriotism and justice, lead modest
lives and uphold public interest over personal interest.
However, the provisions that has been embedded in the said code of
conduct is not being observed or put into practice by some of the
public officials and employees of the government. Basically, because

vested personal interest than the welfare of the people.
