The Office of the Speaker of the National Assembly wishes to inform the general public that the ongoing Committee Meetings have been suspended with immediate effect until 29th January, 2021.
This decision has been made following consultations with Leaders of Political Parties and the Covid-19 Taskforce regarding the way forward on Committee Meetings for the Third Quarter.
The Speaker of the National Assembly, Right Honourable Catherine Gotani Hara says the decision to suspend Committee Meetings has been arrived at to assess further developments of the Covid-19 pandemic and devise appropriate response plans to safeguard the lives of Members of Parliament and staff.
She says Members of Staff are also immediately being directed to work in shifts to decongest the Parliament Building.
The Speaker has since encouraged all Members of Parliament and Staff to take Covid-19 preventive measures seriously.
Covid-19 is real, stay safe!
