I believe what the article is trying to say is that the amount of revenue KPK has gotten from 2013 to 2014 "32.8 billion in the first half of 2013-14 as against Rs 11.9 billion in the corresponding period of previous financial year." meaning they got almost 3 times more revenue in the first 3 months of 2014 compared to the full 2013 year. With that in mind the surplus budget is good in this case since they will have more money to spend for later on. I was really surprised after reading this article, it seems to me like Asad Umar is most likely behind such a move.
im not sure. the article says:
KP government’s overall revenues after spending stood at Rs 32.8 billion in the first half of 2013-14 as against Rs 11.9 billion in the corresponding period of previous financial year.
so the article itself does not say how much the revenue increased and how much the spending. it might be that the revenue has increased but spending might have declined even further to give us a figure of 32.8 billion.
not a very informative article to be honest.
