Lawmaker urges Inclusion of Budget Law in Parliamentary Agenda

Al-Hilali siad, “The draft of the general budget law has been at the Council of Representatives for over a week and is currently in the office of the Speaker of the Council, but it has not been distributed to the council members, and we do not know the reason for its exclusion from the agenda.” She added, “As members of parliament, we demand that the presidency of the council include the budget law in the agenda for the upcoming session to make the best use of time and complete the first reading of the law.”
