    "content": "They also have a Secretariat as we have here under the Clerk and two Deputy Clerks. We also have Committees of PAP. I want to state the Committees because they have a relationship with the Committees that we have here. In PAP there are 11 Committees. They include: the Committee on Rural Economy, Agriculture, National Resources and Environment - where Hon. Pasarris sits; Committee on Monetary and Financial Affairs – where our Sen. Mungatana, MGH sits; Committee of Trade, Customs and Immigration Matters – where I sit; and the Committee of Cooperation, International Relations and Conflict Resolutions – where Hon. Mukami sits. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other Committees include: Committee on Transport, Industry, Communications, Energy, Science and Technology, where Hon. Kalasinga sits; Committee on Health, Labour and Social Affairs; Committee on Education, Culture, Tourism and Human Resources; Committee on Gender, Family, Youth and People with Disabilities; Committee on Justice and Human Rights; Committee on Rules and Privileges and Discipline; and Committee on the Audit and Public Accounts. The operations of the Parliament are also through Committees, as we do in our own House. This is just to make the Members know that the operations there are no different from what we have. As I mentioned, during the First Session as a Delegation, we were sworn in. The Report that I am forwarding today includes a record of the Plenary proceedings of the First Ordinary Session. We had an opening ceremony with a guest of honour from the Republic of South Africa, Hon. Ronald Lamola, Minister for Justice and Correctional Services. He gave the keynote address and a few other speakers also came in. Members will see that in the report. During the Plenary session, there was a presentation of the Performance Review Report of PAP. So, the Parliament itself had been reviewed. This gave us, Members, an opportunity to listen to how the Parliament is performing. We were fortunate to be there soon after the review. Allow me to share with the Members the highlights of the Report. There was the issue of the entrenchment of the principle of rotation in the election of the Bureau of the Sixth Parliament of PAP. Before we went, there was a conflict of about a year or so because Members wanted the rotation to be established in law. So, that was discussed."
