Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the First Report of the Committee on Implementation on the implementation status of Reports on Petitions and Resolutions passed by the House, laid on the Table of the House on 26th October 2023. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Committee on Implementation is established under Standing Order 209 of the National Assembly Standing Orders. The Committee scrutinises House resolutions (including adopted Committee Reports), petitions and undertakings that are given by the National Executive. It examines whether such decisions and undertakings have been implemented and whether such implementation has taken place within the minimum time necessary, and it provides a satisfactory explanation for the delay in full implementation. The mandate of the Committee is further elucidated by Standing Order 201 of the National Assembly Standing Orders, which provide that within 60 days of a resolution of the House or adoption of a report of a select committee, the relevant Cabinet Secretary under whose portfolio the implementation of the resolution falls shall provide a report to the appropriate committee of the House. In consonance with Article 153(4) (b) of the Constitution, Cabinet Secretaries are required to provide Parliament with full and regular reports concerning matters under their control. Thus, the Committee plays a pivotal role in ensuring that the National Assembly resolves issues of concern to the people by holding the Executive to account through the implementation of House resolutions. This ultimately ensures that the National Assembly executes its constitutional mandate effectively and efficiently and does not act in vain. In the execution of its mandate, the Committee wrote to various ministries, state corporations and agencies requesting the implementation status of resolutions, petitions and adopted committee reports that are passed by this House. The Committee received both oral and written submissions from the cabinet secretaries and accounting officers of the State corporations providing the implementation status of the recommendations contained in the reports adopted by the House in the Sittings held from February to April 2023 as follows: 1. Report of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research on Public Petition No. 047 of 2021 regarding the suspension of the Teacher Professional Development (TPD) program; 2. Report by the Departmental Committee on Education and Research on Public Petition regarding the repeal of sections of the Universities Act 2012; 3. The Special Fund Accounts Committee Report on the Examination of Audited Financial Statements for Financial Years 2013/14 to 2015/16 for the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) for constituencies in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
