The agenda of approving the amendment to this bill had to be postponed for today after it could not be presented in the lower house meeting on Monday due to lack of quorum.

This bill was endorsed by the House of Representatives on July 4 and sent to the National Assembly for its consideration. Following deliberations, the National Assembly had sent back the bill to HoR.

The bill will now be forwarded for the authentication process.
