Central gov't budgets still need to be clearer

On Friday, over 90 departments of the central government and central leading body of the Communist Party of China published their detailed budgets for the 2015 financial year as required by the new budget law. Comments:

In previous years, some central departments boasted their budgets were detailed because they contained where they had spent total sums of money, such as the amount spent in total on human resources. This year, progress has been made because they clearly list how much was spent on wages and how much on staff welfare. Obviously, the latter version is more welcomed by the public. We hope they make further progress next year by listing clearly what welfare their staff get and make the money traceable.
