Yeah, it seems like we are slightly overspending and just because we have the money doesn't mean we should spend the money.

Things that you could look to pull, things that you could look to pull back on would be

events, cultural events, events that are hosted with civil societies, things that are not directly connected to the presidency, cutting back on photography or social media.

But again, it would be, I say, it would disadvantage the smaller communities, local communities by doing that.

money i think you could be looking at like the larger contracts like for the specialist vehicles or for the luxury cars um like the cars that have been hired they all seem to be audis bmws and things like that could we have reduced the quality that was needed um but things that could be things that could be reduced are

It is, it is.

And there should be over 30,000 people who will attend over the course of the presidency and we want them to come back

continuously and increase tourism across the country.

So we don't want to cut back on the types of contracts that are going ahead, but perhaps we don't go for the most expensive option that comes through.
