AMMAN — The Lower House's session agenda for
December 27 excluded the 2023 general budget bill speech, which could delay the
approval of the bill and make the
government resort to Article 113 of the
Constitution, Al-Mamlaka TV said.

The Cabinet approved the 2023 general budget draft bill at
the end of November,
Constitutional law expert Laith Nasrawin said, "The
government's failure to deliver the budget speech till now will result in
delays in the
approval of the draft and increases the likelihood of resorting
to the execution of Article 113 of the Constitution".
Article 113 of the Constitution stipulates that "If it
is not possible to enact the General Budget Law before the beginning of the new
financial year, expenditures shall continue by monthly appropriations at the
rate of 1/12th of each month of the previous year's budget".
The government sent the 2023 general budget bill to the
Lower House to be passed on to the Finance Committee for
discussion and
presentation under the Dome on December 4, Al-Mamlaka stated.
