The national assembly has
embarked on a four-week recess.
The leadership of the two
chambers announced this after the respective plenaries.
The lawmakers are to resume
sitting on July 3, to give room for the Eid-el-Fitri holiday and upcoming Salah
celebration.
The recess, however, does not
affect the various committees of the two chambers as their meetings and other
activities would still continue.
Meanwhile, the house of
representatives has begun activities marking its three years’ anniversary.
Addressing journalists at the
national assembly, Abdulrazak Namdas, spokesman of the lower legislative
chamber, said the house has “done well”
during the period.
He said over 1,473 bills were
brought forth during the three years, out of which 222 have been passed.
He said 90 of the bills
introduced in the house were on constitution amendment, while 519 bills are
awaiting second reading.
“Since the inception of the
national assembly, no assembly has achieve this success”, Namdas said.
The house spokesman also said the
lawmakers would double their efforts in the remaining one year.
