For the second time, Speaker Nabih Berri postponed the Q&A plenary session that was scheduled to be held on Wednesday, until Friday March 29, at 3:00 pm due to the health condition of Prime Minister Saad Hariri.

This as MP Ali Bazzi quoted Berri as saying that the country’s economic situation “requires a set of measures that may not be popular but will not target the poor."

"The government must refer the state's Budget to the Parliament as soon as possible," Bazzi quoted Berri as saying after the weekly meeting with MPs at Ain el-Tineh.
