Budget tables: a legislative priority before the end of the session

As the legislative recess approaches its end, parliamentary demands are mounting for the approval of the general budget schedules before the conclusion of the current parliamentary session. This demand is a pivotal tool for ensuring the provision of services and the implementation of government programs, given the economic challenges facing the country.

Member of Parliament Taama Al-Lahibi told Al-Sabah that “the budget schedules represent a top priority at the present time and cannot be postponed to the next legislative session, as they constitute the backbone of the work of ministries and institutions.” He warned that “delaying them will lead to the disruption of service projects and the exacerbation of financial crises in the governorates.”

Al-Lahibi added, “There are other important laws that could be discussed or postponed later, but the failure to approve the financial schedules at this time means a continued stagnation in project implementation and a delay in the disbursement of dues and allocations, which will negatively impact citizens’ lives.”

The MP called on the House of Representatives Presidency and political blocs to “assume their responsibilities and not be lenient in passing the agendas, as they directly impact the daily lives of citizens and the performance of state institutions across various sectors.”

Al-Lahibi pointed out that the current legislative session is nearing its end, requiring all parties to intensify efforts to establish priorities and close pending issues before the new session begins.
