Section 5 of the Act provides that the National Assembly, through its committees, must annually assess the performance of each national department. The section therefore requires that committees must annually submit budgetary review and recommendation reports (BRRR) to the Assembly - after the adoption of the budget but prior to the adoption of the report on the MTBPS. As these BRRRs may include recommendations on the forward use of resources, they form one critical part of Parliament's engagement with budget the following year.
