\u201cYes, we could not go because we had to pass the budget now after passing the budget, we also know that the transitional period has been extended for another two years and there are very important provisions that have not been implemented like the permanent constitution making,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bill that is before us today is very important for the people you represent here in this house. I am sure your people our people will not be happy if we go for recess without passing this very important bill,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
