Defence budget only 18pc not 70pc: Kayani

ISLAMABAD: Chief of the Army Staff, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, Monday said that the allocation for defence budget was only 18 percent and not 70 percent as believed by many, Geo News reported.

According to a statement issued by ISPR, Gen Kayani said that even out of that paltry 18 percent only 8-9 percent of funds trickled down to the sentinels of the country, which was a matter of serious concern.
