The National Assembly has condemned the postponement of the general elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission, stating that passage of the 2019 Appropriation Bill and the New Minimum Wage Bill will suffer further delay.
The Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Abdulrazak Namdas, lamented that the postponement had more implications beyond the elections.
He said one of the implications was that the National Assembly, which is billed to resume plenary on Tuesday to work on the national budget and the wage bill, among others, would be forced to extend its recess.
Namdas noted that they are having Budget 2019 before them, the postponement will have a multiplier effect.
