Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>The African Parliamentary Press Network (APPN) has hailed intervention of the Executive Council of the African Union (AU) for facilitating the resolve to a stalemate during the elections.<\/p>\n

This is per the APPN statement published last week. The APPN is a Network of African journalists and information officers reporting from regional, sub-regional and national Parliaments in Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe African Parliamentary Press Network (APPN) commends<\/p>\n

the intervention of the Executive Council of the African Union (AU), the Chairperson of the African Union Commission (AUC), H. E. Moussa Faki Mahamat and<\/p>\n

the other policy organs of the AU in working assiduously and harmoniously to ensure that the misunderstanding that led to disruption of proceedings at the<\/p>\n

Fourth Ordinary Session of the Fifth Parliament of the Pan African Parliament (PAP) were resolved in line with the established African Union values, rules,<\/p>\n

and regulations. \u201cThe various interventions culminated in the decision of 39th Ordinary Session of the African Union Executive Council in Addis Ababa,<\/p>\n

Ethiopia that only regions that have not had the opportunity to lead the Parliament would be eligible to present candidates at the resumed bureau election<\/p>\n

to be conducted and managed by the Office of Legal Counsel. \u201d reads the APN statement in pertinent part. During its session earlier in May, chaos broke out during<\/p>\n

the election, the election which had been suspended. The bone of contention was over the principle of rotation to which the members did not see eye to eye<\/p>\n

on. PAP was established on March 18, 2004, following the African Heads of States meeting in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea, the meeting which culminated in the adoption of the Malabo Protocol.<\/p>\n

All African states that have ratified this protocol have the representation of five parliamentarians in this continental parliament. APPN also commended the AUC Chairperson H.<\/p>\n

E. Mahamat for mounting a fact-finding delegation that visited the PAP Secretariat and subsequently handed over a progress report with \u201cfar-reaching\u201d recommendations.<\/p>\n

Taking stock of the report of the delegation, the network said the report build on the decisions and recommendations of the policy organs. \u201cAPPN urges the Parliamentarians to accept the resolution<\/p>\n

of the issue in good faith and henceforth focus on issues that promote a united Africa instead of dwelling on issues that tended to divide us. These include<\/p>\n

the manufacturing of COVID-19 Vaccines and related drugs in Africa, challenges of youth unemployment, under-development, poverty, insecurity, and promoting<\/p>\n

participatory democracy. \u201cThe APPN takes this opportunity to call on all national Parliaments that are yet to ratify the Malabo Protocol to do so to give the<\/p>\n

Pan-African Parliament the needed legislative powers,\u201d reads the network statement. Lesotho representation at PAP is made of Chieftainess Nthati Bereng, who is the Head of Delegation, Hon.<\/p>\n

Palo Leteetee, Hon. \u2018Mathato Phafoli and Hon. Kose Makoa and recently Hon. Temeki T\u0161olo has been nominated to the parliament. He replaced Hon. T\u0161eliso Kalake, who has been appointed as the Deputy Minister of<\/p>\n

Foreign Affairs and International Relations. He is yet to be sworn in as a member of this continental parliament next sitting schedule early next year.<\/p>\n

Members of PAP have a five-year term in office. PAP is the African Union (AU)\u2019s legislative organ and it is charged with, among others, the mandate to make and implement legislation on behalf of the AU.<\/p>\n
