He explained that “we did not obtain approval during the legislative recess to hold an emergency extraordinary session and to host the governor of the Central Bank to discuss the reasons for the high exchange rate of the dollar.”
And Al-Salami continued, “After the end of the legislative recess, a Saturday session was held, and we obtained the approval of the first and second deputy to preside over the House of Representatives, but the Speaker of the House refused that, and he hosted the governor of the Central Bank in his private office yesterday, the first Sunday.”
