The circular, obtained by MUK TV, highlighted the urgency of the meeting but did not disclose specific agenda items. Senators are urged to attend despite the current seven-week recess, which began after the last plenary session on July 24, 2024.
The circular acknowledged the disruption to the recess but emphasized the critical nature of the discussions. Originally, the Senate and House of Representatives were set to reconvene on September 17, 2024, following their annual break.
