The National Legislative Assembly on Monday adjourned its second reading of the annual budget for 2015/ 2016 to Tuesday.
In a notice displayed at the Assembly, the reading was adjourned due to an ‘urgent meeting of the leadership of the National Legislature at J-One’, Radio Bakhita reported.
President Salva Kiir Mayardit was also on Monday holding consultation meeting with all national leaders including ministers and MPs in Juba.
Community Empowerment for Progress Organization urged the spokesperson of the Parliament to answer why journalists were denied access to cover discussions around the budget since it was an issue of public interest.
