10 September 2024 - The Office of the Vice President (OVP) would like to inform the public that it will not be attending the Committee on Appropriations hearing on the proposed OVP Budget for FY 2025 scheduled for today.

The reasons for such have been addressed in a recent interview of the Vice President, released earlier this morning.

Moreover, as stated in a letter addressed to the Speaker of the House of Representatives sent earlier today, the OVP has submitted all necessary documentation to the House of Representatives – Committee on Appropriations, including a detailed presentation on the proposed budget for fiscal year 2025.

In view of the foregoing, the OVP defers entirely to the discretion and judgment of the Committee regarding its budget proposal for 2025.

Thank you.
