Which body approves the Government's Budget?

• A. Senate
• B. The House of Assembly
• C. Parliament
• D. The Attorney General

Answer: (C)

When a government sets a budget, the approval of that plan is a legislative act. The government proposes the budget, laying out expected revenues and how money will be spent. Parliament then reviews, debates, and votes on it, deciding what can be funded and making any necessary changes. This process gives elected representatives control over public spending and turns the budget into law through appropriation or supply bills. The body that approves the budget is Parliament, because it represents the people and has the authority to authorize funds for government activities. The Attorney General provides legal advice but does not approve spending by itself, and a single chamber—while important—does not alone grant the funding; Parliament as a whole carries out the approval, often with both houses needed in bicameral systems.
