The National Assembly is set to reconvene tomorrow, Tuesday, 11th February 2025, for the fourth session of the Thirteenth (13th) Parliament.

This follows the end of the long  recess, which saw the House take a break after an arduous Third session that was characterized by a rejection of the Finance Bill 2024, passage of six tax related laws and an amended Division of Revenue Act. 

The National Assembly will conclude its Third Session on February 10th 2025 with legislators having made achievements, including the introduction of 49 Bills, consideration of 161 motions, and approval of the appointment of 85 persons to various state and public office. 

The session, which ran from February 2024 saw 17 of the 49 introduced Bills assented to, including The Division of Revenue (Amendment) Act, 2024, Water (Amendment) Act, 2023 and the Sugar Act, 2022.  

National Assembly Speaker Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Moses Wetang'ula has expressed fears that the boundary delimitation process may be the biggest casualty of the delayed reconstitution of the electoral agency.  

Speaker Wetang’ula noted that while the delayed reconstitution of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has hindered the timely conducting of by-elections in various constituencies and wards, he also stated that it may be impossible to create additional constituencies.
