Parliament is today expected to resume sittings after it adjourned sine die on March 26, 2010.
Members of Parliament are expected to vote for a deputy chairman of parliamentary committees following the appointment of UNIP Lundazi MP Mukhondo Lungu as Minister of Home Affairs.
National Assembly spokesperson Chikomeni Banda said in an interview in Lusaka yesterday that nominations have been received from interested MPs.
He could, however, not disclose the names of MPs interested in the position.
Mr Banda said this session will mainly be considering and adopting committee reports.
“Basically, the main business for the House is to consider and adopt committee reports and any other issues that may arise,” Mr Banda said.
Two new members of Parliament are expected to take their seats after winning their respective by-elections.
These are Elliot Kamondo for the United Party for National Development (UPND) who won the Mufumbwe by-election and MMD’s Whiteson Banda who won the Milanzi Constituency seat.
The House will also record its regret on the untimely death of Chifubu MP Benson Bwalya (PF) who passed away in May.
Luena MP Charles Milupi (independent) will also be missing from the House following his resignation.
Mr Milupi is now leader of the Alliance for Development and Democracy (ADD) party.
During the last sitting the House considered three private members’ motions and one motion to adopt the second report of the public accounts committee, on the report of the Auditor-General and on the outturn and appropriation accounts for the financial year of 2007.
