Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span> <\/b> The Transitional National Legislative Assembly of South Sudan adjourned a third reading of the country\u2019s 2023\/2024 fiscal budget on Wednesday afternoon, leaving lawmakers in shock.<\/p>\n

Lawmakers had been waiting at the parliament hall since 10:00 AM when Speaker Jemma Nunu Kumba walked in to announce that the reading of the fiscal budget had been \u201cpostponed.\u201d<\/p>\n

She did not provide any explanation for the postponement.<\/p>\n

The session was originally scheduled to start at 10:00 AM, but Nunu did not arrive at the House until a few minutes past noon. When she did arrive, she apologized to the lawmakers for the delay and then announced that the budget would not be read.<\/p>\n

The long-overdue budget is currently in its third reading and was supposed to be passed to pave the way for presidential assent.<\/p>\n

It has already been two months into new financial year and the country lack a budget. South Sudan has been in a state of civil war since 2013, and the government has struggled to provide basic services to its citizens.<\/p>\n

The failure to pass the budget will only make it more difficult for the government to function, observers say.<\/p>\n

It is unclear why the budget sitting was adjourned. Some lawmakers have speculated that it was due to disagreements between the government and the opposition over the budget.<\/p>\n

Others have suggested that it was due to a lack of quorum. The Speaker of the Parliament has not commented on the reasons for the adjournment.<\/p>\n
