  "summary": "The Senate has extended the implementation period of the capital component of the 2025 Appropriation Act from September 30 to December 31, 2026, for the fourth time. This decision was made to prevent the abandonment of ongoing projects and ensure effective utilization of funds already appropriated and released. The extension follows the passage of the Appropriations Repeal and Enactment Act 2025 Amendment Bill 2026, which grants ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs) an additional three months to complete eligible capital projects, process outstanding payments, and utilize funds under the 2025 budget, subject to existing financial regulations, procurement laws, and legislative oversight.",
