Reps passed 41 bills in two years – Spokesperson

The House of Representatives has passed 41 Bills under the Ninth Assembly, its spokesperson, Benjamin Kalu, said.

He said the feat was recorded since they were inaugurated on June 11, 2019.

Mr Kalu said this in a statement issued while presenting the report of its activities on Thursday in Abuja.

He stated that 853 bills had been considered by the House since it was inaugurated.

He scored the Ninth House higher in terms of performance in bill consideration and passage of bills than previous assemblies.

Mr Kalu added that 66 bills are currently awaiting action by the Committee of the Whole, and 105 had passed the second reading, stressing that the House had so far considered 730 motions.

He said 484 were taken in the first session and 246 considered in the second session, stressing that several of the motions considered by the House were products of diligently conducted needs analysis.

This, according to him, reflects the will of the people in the exercise of its oversight responsibilities as stipulated in Sections 88 and 89 of the 1999 Constitution.

He added that 98 of the resolutions had addressed various challenges in insecurity, while others addressed other socio-economic issues and performance issues by the executive.
