• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: They also have a Secretariat as we have here under the Clerk and two Deputy Clerks. We also have Committees of PAP.

• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other issue was hosting of the first meeting of the permanent Standing Committees. The strategic reorientation workshop for MPs took place during that session to help the new Members who were coming in. The interesting thing about the African Continent is that there is an election going on every now and again. In fact, Sen.

Without doing so, it becomes very difficult to do anything. Even trade measures have to be harmonized. This includes free movement of persons, goods and cross-border investments. There are so many issues that require modern laws, including free airspace. Currently, we are trying to work on something on free airspace. You find that someone coming to Midrand from West Africa, sometimes has to go to Paris, bounce into Nairobi City ... view
• 21 Jun 2023 in Senate: Those are some of the highlights from that Report. Of course, a debate ensued thereafter and Legislators made robust submissions. They discussed ratification of the Malabo Protocol, budgetary constraints in the Assembly and many more. Again, there are so many African Union agreements that I encourage Members to look at. Apart from the Malabo Agreement, let us look at the Abuja Agreement and others, where our Heads of State have given resolutions that affect the way we operate. They are proposing nice recommendations on the way forward. view
