The Committee on Legal and Administrative Affairs and Freedoms of the National People’s Assembly (NPA) has been tasked with drafting the NPA’s rules of procedure, a statement from the lower house of parliament said on Monday.
” In application of the provisions of Article 85 of the NPA’s rules of procedure, the NPa Bureau has instructed the Committee on Legal and Administrative Affairs and Freedoms to draw up the draft rules of procedure of the NPA, in the light of the provisions of the Constitution and of Organic Law 16-12 of 25 August 2016 laying down the organisation and functioning of the NPA and the Council of the Nation, as well as the functional relations between the chambers of Parliament and the Government.”
The bureau decided “to revise the general directive on the organisation and tasks of the legislative and administrative services of the NPA, and the establishment of a committee to deal with it, which will submit its work to the NPC bureau as soon as possible”.
In addition, the president of the APN has instructed the committee of experts to prepare the draft code of ethics of parliamentary action “to be submitted to the members of the bureau as soon as possible,” the same source adds.
