Members, you may recall that during today’s morning Sitting, the National Assembly approved a similar Motion. As you may be aware, the Select Committee has 30 days within which to execute its mandate and report to both Houses. In this regard, the co- chairpersons are advised to consider convening the Committee’s first sitting as a matter of urgency. Further, the Clerk of the National Assembly is directed to facilitate the operations of the Committee in the terms contained in the Motion. Thank you, Hon. Members.
