This was revealed by the speaker of parliament Rebecca Alitwala

Kadaga during her communication in the plenary.

“Members of parliament are ironing out budgetary process, which is a necessity to the country and needs enough time to avoid any mistakes” says Kadaga.

Parliament is remaining with nineteen days, which is limited to iron out the remaining vast work of budget that is why they are going to be utilizing tirelessly both morning and evening hours.

daily so that they execute their cardinal duties as outlined in the

constitution.
