Parliament does not stand dissolved  today. It will meet this week.  The power over the country’s public  finance is vested with Parliament in terms of the Constitution.           However, the President has now taken over this power to allocate money  for the Ministries. We condemn this move,” the DNA MP said.dailymirror</blockquote>
