Legislators have reconvened after a two-month summer break to begin the annual State of the Constituency Debate. During this debate, members of parliament present on how they spend the $20 million allocated through the Constituency Development Fund. The government's legislative agenda is facing pressure because the pledge to advance constitutional reform remains stalled, as the bill from December 2024 has not been restarted.
