Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>The Parliament of Sierra Leone has in a press release issued today debunked document circulating on social and other Media entitled \u201cParliamentary Welfare Act 2022\u2033.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Full press Release reads; \u201cThe attention of the Office of the Clerk has been drawn to a certain document on social and other media entitled Parliamentary Welfare Acts 2022\u201d with the name of the Speaker of Parliament ascribed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish to clarify that the said document, being a private member\u2019s bill has not been presented to Parliament for consideration. As such, neither the office of Speaker nor Clerk is aware of its existence.\u201cEven though it is the right of individual Members of Parliament to prepare and pilot private member\u2019s bills as provided for in Standing Order 61, Parliament wishes the general public to note that it has nothing to do with the above-mentioned bill.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe law provides that for a private member\u2019s bill to be recognized by the House, it must fulfill certain conditions, including Gazetting the document and formally serving the office of the Clerk.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs at the time of this press release, the bill in question has not met the said conditions and hence, \u201cnot before Parliament\u201d.\u201cParliament therefore wishes to disassociate itself from the bill and to inform the general\u201d<\/p>\n
