The president, who appeared to have assented grudgingly, observed that the lawmakers reduced some of the proposals he presented and increased others adding that they also introduced fresh allocations.

According to him, the adjustment would make the implementation of the budget difficult.

But added that he would engage the leadership of the ninth National Assembly to review the budget.
