Kwara Assembly Approves New House Rules

Kwara House of Assembly on Thursday approved new rules and order
that would guide the activities of the House.

The Speaker, Dr Ali Ahmad, announced the approval after the
report of an ad-hoc committee setup to review the rules and order
was adopted.

The Speaker said that the new rules were approved because the
assembly was satisfied with consultations carried out by the Ad-hoc
committee in some state Houses of Assembly, House of
Representatives and the Senate.

The Speaker directed the Clerk of the House, Hajia Halimah
Kperogi, to effect all the corrections in the new House rules and
make other necessary amendments.

Among the salient items on the new rules was that, all the
members must put on local attires to plenary on Wednesdays.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Ad-hoc
committee was inaugurated on Aug. 9, 2016.
