It is referenced ‘Invitation to Respond to the Questions in the Plenary of the National Assembly’ on Wednesday, 13th March 2024. It refers to a Communication that was dated 4th March 2024 in the above subject from Parliament. In the letter, the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Public Service Performance and Delivery Management was invited to respond to various Questions in the Plenary of the National Assembly on Wednesday, 13th March 2024 at 2.30 p.m. However, due to a planned Cabinet meeting on the same date, the Cabinet Secretary will not be able to attend.
