ā€œThis initiative, championed by the House Leadership, underscores our commitment to ensuring robust engagement and informed legislative action on critical policy reforms.ā€

According to him, the interactive session, scheduled for Monday, November 18, 2024, at the Temporary Chamber of the House of Representatives, will begin at 10 am prompt.

ā€œIt aims to provide Members of the House with a platform to engage directly with the principal promoters of the tax reform bills from the Executive arm of government.

ā€œThus, this engagement will enable Honourable Members to seek clarifications, pose critical questions, and gain deeper insights into the proposed reforms. Such understanding is vital to strengthening the legislative process and enhancing Membersā€™ contributions to the deliberations on these bills.

ā€œRecognising the national significance of the proposed reforms and their implications for fiscal policy and governance.

ā€œThe 10th House of Representatives remains committed to its mandate of advancing the nationā€™s development through transparent, inclusive, and informed legislative processes.

ā€œThe public is invited to note that while this is an internal interactive session, it does not foreclose the customary public hearingā€”a crucial step in the lawmaking process.

ā€œAt such hearings, members of the public are provided with an opportunity to gain deeper insights into legislative proposals and make meaningful inputs aimed at shaping effective reforms,ā€ he noted.
