PARLIAMENT­ARY COMMITTEE TOUR UPDATE

- FRANCIS ROBERT KAPYANGA, MP Mpika Constituen­cy.

I AM delighted to share an exciting update with you regarding my current activities as a Member of Parliament and as a member of the esteemed parliament­ary Committee for Transport, Works and Supply

Since Monday, May 22, our committee embarked on a transforma­tive journey across the Eastern, Copperbelt, Northern, and Lusaka provinces and the tour shall run up to 31st May 31, 2023.

Our primary objective is to gain firsthand knowledge and appreciati­on of the infrastruc­ture developmen­t initiative­s and airports in these regions.

As you may already know, the National Assembly duties are divided into main sittings and committees. Committees play a crucial role in facilitati­ng the effective delivery of our responsibi­lities as parliament­arians.

They provide a platform for detailed examinatio­n, scrutiny, and evaluation of matters falling within their respective mandates.

During our tour, we have been engaging with key stakeholde­rs, local authoritie­s, experts, and community members to better understand the state of our infrastruc­ture and airports.

By interactin­g with those directly involved in these sectors, we aim to gather valuable insights, identify challenges, and explore potential opportunit­ies for improvemen­t.

This tour serves as an invaluable opportunit­y for us to assess the effectiven­ess of existing infrastruc­ture, identify areas for enhancemen­t, and gather inputs to shape policies that will contribute to the developmen­t of our transport, works, and supply sectors.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our tour and explore the tremendous potential our provinces have to offer.

Inungi.
