Anambra House Sets Agenda for 6th Assembly

- Charles Onyekamuo in Awka

Anambra State House of Assembly has set up a legislativ­e agenda for the newly inaugurate­d sixth Assembly.

The House Speaker, Hon. Rita Maduagwu told THISDAY in an interview weekend in Awka after its first sitting before adjourning for a month that the House also set up the selection and legislativ­e Committees and shared principal positions.

The Committees, she said, would come up with all the items that would guide the House in the next four years, adding that with the induction class of first time legislator­s completed, it is expected that a kind of liaison between old and new members of the House would be establishe­d to make for the necessary synergy required to create the vibrancy expected in its debates.

She said she had in the course of their deliberati­ons yesterday advised members to endeavour to sponsor private bills especially the ones that would help the State Governor on Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) as well as bills that would impact positively on the people.
