"If the leaders don't settle the contentious issues in consensus and also continue to remain divided over the procedures, I will fix the date for the next sitting," Nembang told reporters after the meeting with chief whips at his chamber on Wednesday. He said he will wait until 5 pm on March 29.

Nembang claimed that he is doing this based on the suggestions by the opposition parties because they have said that the situation may worsen after that as the opposition parties have planned to intensify aggressive protests from coming Sunday.
