These fools won't touch anything important with a 10 foot pole. But thankfully they addressed the concerns of youth, 6th grade student test scores and agreed on more committees. What happened to all the concern for HCL, tardy parliament members, Social Security law they blabbed about during Ramadan that would be passed in the 'coming session' ?? And Jabouri is concerned about not giving approval for member vacations until important laws are passed?? Almost laughable. They can barely get a quorum, then do nothing. The whole group has been on vacation since the 2014 elections. Why not just disband now?  They will accomplish the same thing. Nothing.

It's so blatantly obvious that they aren't doing anything. It almost makes you want to believe that they ARE waiting for something to get worked out and then pass the "basket" of laws.

You guys missed many important items today and that was the discussion on the union of the council or better known as the federation council. The powers to the provinces that go with the amendment to law 21 of 2008, that was also discussed today will also play a huge role in the federation council. These are big constitutional items and they have to make sure they get them right because there will not be time to change them once the powers are distributed and the federation council takes their place as either an equal in the house to pass laws or they may be a tad bit higher on the totem pole for the making of laws or the abolishing of laws. They are completing the government. Remember that shabbs said political, border and monetary security. They dont have a complete government yet and that is what they are working on. Just look at this list and look at it as if it were here in the u.s.. The federation council, (2nd legislative branch of government), law 21 amended of 2008, which is the 3rd amendment, and then you have the provincial elections. Can we see a pattern here? Next its the amnesty law amendment. They are actually working on the hottest items in order for them to be ready on a government and provincial level for when the investment and rebuilding starts. If you dont have these things then there is nothing that the money will help. That is why jabouri is calling on the youth. Many that have graduated and have degrees will be able to sit on these provincial councils and maybe even the federation council and run for the house of reps also. This starts the cycle of new and getting rid of the old. That is why he made the remark that the youth is more important than the hcl. I know everyone is looking for the hcl and that will happen, but in order for the corruption and the pathetic way of government there to change you are going to need the next generation to help lead it.
