Parliament to Convene Monday Despite Continuous Boycott
The parliament is expected to hold another session on Monday despite being boycotted previously four times by the several parliamentary blocs over it's agenda.
Speaker Nabih Berri has called on the parliament to convene on September 23 at 10.30 a.m. without changing the agenda of the session.
The session was postponed for a fourth time on August 20 over a lack of quorum.
Several parliamentary blocks boycotted the parliamentary session over a dispute with the speaker over its agenda, which included 45 articles.
Berri insists on keeping the 45 draft-laws on the agenda intact and had previously vowed to continue to call on MPs to a General Assembly meeting until the agenda is discussed.
Caretaker Premier Najib Miqati argues that there is no balance between the powers of the legislative and executive branches amid a resigned government.
