Date:

By Loretta B Manele

Parliament is said to resume towards the end of this month, April.

Prime Minister Jeremiah Manele gave a brief take on this whilst speaking at a press conference yesterday.

He said he has advised the Clerk to national parliament to issue a notice to all Members of Parliament to attend the 3rd meeting of the 12th parliament on the 24th of April.

Manele stated that government intends to table two important bills during this meeting which is likely to carry on into the month of May.

The two bills are; the Special Economic Zone Bill and the Minerals Resources Bill.

Manele hopes to have these bills passed in this April-May parliament sitting.

“Parliament is expected to sit for the whole month of May after which parliament will be adjourned.”

Manele said he anticipates three parliament meetings for 2025 of which the first sitting will be from April 25th into May, the second from July to August and the third in October, November and December.

He noted that the Governor General, Sir David Tiva Kapu will outline the legislative business for these sittings when he addresses parliament.
