The Sectoral debate billed to commence today (Thursday) at the House of Representatives has been postponed owing to the failure of the Service Chiefs to appear in person for the event
According to report, the series is part of initiatives by the Speaker Tajudeen Abbas-led House to improve its constitutional oversight of the executive arm of government, in line with the Legislative Agenda for the 10th Assembly launched on Monday.
Invited to take the floor on Thursday were the service chiefs made up of the Chief of Defence Staff, Chief of Army Staff, Chief of Naval Staff, Chief of Air Staff and the Inspector General of Police.
However, rather than appearing in person, the service chiefs sent representatives; a development that infuriated the lawmakers who arrived at the chambers in the early hours of the day.
