They also asked the Senate Committees on Finance and Appropriation to liaise with the Minister of Finance, Budget, and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, to get more details on the loan request.
Earlier the lawmakers resumed plenary on Tuesday morning after spending 36 days at home following the outbreak of Coronavirus in the country.
