The National Legislative Assembly on Monday rejects a proposal to form a national crisis adhoc committee to fix economic problems facing South Sudan.
The urgent motion for the establishment of an eight -member parliamentary committee was presented to parliament by Pascal Bandindi, a Member of Parliament in the Committee on Finance and Economy, Radio Bakhita reports.
James Lual Deng, a Member of Parliament from Fagak argues that the committee will not solve the current economic crisis facing the country.
He asks the parliament to drop the proposal.
Embark on finding a solution for the economic hardship, MP Lual argues.
MP Joy Kwaje says parliament should first discuss the problems affecting the country before forming the committee.
MP Gabriel Guoth Guoth says the timing of the committee is not appropriate as per the current economic crisis.
The committee may not bring any viable solution if formed now, he argues.
The parliament resolved that the proposal be taken to the Committee of Finance and Economy for scrutiny for another discussion on Tuesday.
