PAN AFRICAN PARLIAMENT

The second ordinary session of the Fourth Parliament of the Pan-African Parliament that officially commenced on Tuesday and will run the 13th May. One of the most significant changes for Parliament was the establishment of an entirely new House of Parliament, the National Council of Provinces, to ensure that provincial interests are taken into account in the national sphere of government. During the term of the 3rd Parliament the demand on members of Parliament to engage in oversight activities and participate in international organisations, events and forums increased. And this morning we will be looking at what we can expect from the 4th Parliament of the Pan-African Parliament, and to help us discuss this is:Hon. Dr Bernadette Lahai: 4th Vice President of Pan-African Parliament (from Sierra Leone) Hon. Jacqueline Muhongayire – MP from RwandaHon. Hashim Osman – MP from Sudan
