The National Assembly on Thursday failed to pass the 2023 Appropriations bill as earlier scheduled.
Indications of this emerged when the budget report was not listed on the Order Paper for Thursday’s legislative activities.
The Senate President, however, blamed the executive arm of government for submitting the budget proposal very late and when it was laid, it came with errors. Lawan said, “Today was scheduled to be the day for us to receive and consider the report of our Committee on Appropriations on the 2023 Appropriation Bill. However, due to some challenges, we are not able to receive the report of the Committee.
Lawan then added that the considerations for the 2023 Appropriation Bill would resume after the Christmas holiday on Wednesday, 28th December 2023.
