Government considers new bills as ordinances face uncertainty
Summary
The government has not initiated the approval process for eight ordinances tabled in Parliament and is now considering introducing separate bills amid opposition challenges and parliamentary disruptions.
Key Points

- Ordinances must be approved by both houses of Parliament within 60 days or they lapse automatically, with the deadline approaching on July 10.
- Opposition parties in the National Assembly have filed rejection notices, and the government fears intensified protests if the ordinances are pushed forward.
- The government is considering introducing separate bills directly in Parliament instead of seeking approval for the existing ordinances.
