He stated, “Some finishing touches need to be done in the chamber. So, we will give them some time. Wednesday is Workers’ Day, so we won’t be meeting. We will also allow them Thursday till Monday to finish everything.
“We will reconvene on Tuesday, May 7.”
During Tuesday’s plenary, there were reports earlier of brawls and quarrels among ranking senators over the sitting arrangement in the newly-renovated chamber.
