Parliament to prioritise Pending Business Ahead of Campaigns

The Business Committee of Parliament has met to discuss and agree on the business to be prioritised in the 5th session of the 11th Parliament.

Chairing the Wednesday Parliamentary sitting, Speaker Anita Among highlighted the need to urgently handle pending business in the House before Parliament breaks off to allow MPs to participate in campaigns.

Speaker Among emphasised the importance of efficiency and effectiveness in committee work by all legislators.

She urged MPs to work diligently to clear the pending business and ensure that the House makes the most of the remaining time.

"There is need to urgently handle the pending business in the House before Parliament can break off to allow MPs participate in the campaigns," Speaker Among said.

The Business Committee's decision to prioritise pending business reflects the House's commitment to addressing important legislative matters before the end of the session. This move is expected to ensure that critical issues are not left unattended.

"We need to be efficient and effective in our committee work," Speaker Among added.

The 5th session of the 11th Parliament has a packed agenda, and the Business Committee's decisions will play a crucial role in shaping the legislative priorities for the remaining time.

The House's ability to efficiently handle pending business will be critical in determining the success of the session.

With the campaigns looming, MPs are under pressure to clear the legislative backlog and ensure that the House's business is conducted in an efficient and effective manner.
