The budget foregrounded capital expenditure for construction of barracks, forensic laboratories and district courts, together with allocation for information technology upgrades to improve law enforcement responsiveness. Financial planning emphasised maintaining fiscal discipline while meeting the immediate requirements of public safety and order.

Health priorities included expansion of hospital capacity, upgrading of primary health centres and enhancement of maternal and child health services, along with investment in diagnostic networks and emergency response systems.
