FULL LIST: 40 bills Speaker Anita Among has passed in one year

The Speaker of Parliament Rt. Hon Anita Among lauded legislators for scoring high on a string of fronts that are believed to thrust the 11th Parliament towards the full realization of both internal and external set targets.

In her remarks at the closure of the 1st meeting of the 2nd session, Ms Among commended MPs for exceedingly performing well, during which a total of 22 committee reports were processed and adopted, 6 oaths administered, 17 Bills passed with none of them withdrawn and a minimum of 219 questions posed to the Prime Minister by the MPs.

She urged them to ensure that the same energy is exhibited in the subsequent meetings, and also to ensure the same energy is extended to their respective constituencies as a means of ensuring that similar performance is achieved and noted amongst voters, in various constituencies especially through the oversight role.

“Parliamentary oversight is conducted to assess the performance of the Executive Branch, to determine the efficiency, effectiveness, economy of resources and assets by key institutions or agencies of the state.” She said.
