The Speaker of Parliament Jacob Mudenda has announced the Members of Parliament to serve in portfolio committees.
He made the announcements in the National Assembly this afternoon and this follows the recently held by-elections.
Meanwhile, among the notable appointments is that of Citizens Coalition for Change CCC vice president Tendai Biti who has been moved to Portfolio Committee on Budget, Finance and Economic Development.
Biti has been a thorn in the flesh for some parastal bosses and ministries when he chaired the public accounts committee, exposing corruption within procurement procedures.
Mudenda’s announcements:
