Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Speaker of the National Assembly, Jacob Mudenda, on Friday, said that Parliament will conduct a restructuring exercise for its staff to improve the welfare of its workers in 2024.<\/p>\n

Mudenda made the remarks during a ceremony to honour Parliament\u2019s long long-serving employees. He said:<\/p>\n

As Speaker, working together with fellow presiding officers, we want to implement the institutional, structural reforms guided by the Patterson System, where we need to do proper job evaluation, where we need to do proper job specification, where we need to do appropriate job descriptions and in tandem with that the remuneration scales will be decided accordingly. Currently, the structure is disadvantaging the majority of you.<\/p>\n

The Patterson system grades jobs based on the level and complexity of decisions made by each job. The decision bands range from A to F, with F being the highest decision band.<\/p>\n

Mudenda also said Parliament\u2019s ICT department will be restructured so that it embraces artificial intelligence (AI). He said:<\/p>\n

The restructuring means that our ICT department will have to move a scale up and embrace artificial intelligence (AI). We are now in the era of industrial revolution anchored on information, and communication technology that is now going to be guided by AI so it will mean that every department will have to be ICT compliant, every department will have to be AI compliant.<\/p>\n

The beauty of AI is that you don\u2019t have to rely on research, you just touch the screen and it will give you all the data that you require.<\/p>\n

The biggest problem will be how to synthesise the data which is relevant to what you are looking for, so every department will be enjoying the fruits of ICT and AI.<\/p>\n

Mudenda said that some Parliament staff would be sent to Dubai to study at the Zayed University of AI.<\/p>\n

He also said that from 2024, Parliament will introduce an education fund so that those who want to further their education are facilitated through that fund.<\/p>\n
