Just moments ago the Libyan House of Reprenstative’s session to discuss the 2021 national budget draft commenced in Tobruk. If the members of parliament did not accept the budget, it could be returned to the Government for amendment. For his part, the member of the House of Representatives from Sibrata Almbruk Al-Khatabi said that, during today’s session, they would discuss the budget bill and the report of the finance committee. He added that the draft budget needed to be reviewed, adding that it did not respond to the expectations of simple citizens, who benefited only from it on a monthly basis, stressing that it was huge in view of its limited-time limits. On the other hand, he also made it clear that today’s session of the House of Representatives may discuss, along with the budget, the issue of sovereign office, and also address the constitutional rule file.
