Parliament to debate CI for 45 new constituencies

Parliament will today take a decision on the Constitutional Instrument that gives legal backing to the creation of the 45 new constituencies.

The parliamentary sub-committee on subsidiary legislation is proposing that the document be rejected due to some discrepancies.

But majority leader Cletus Avoka says the house has not yet accepted the proposal.

In an interview with XYZ News, Mr. Avoka said parliamentarians will debate it today and reach a consensus.

Meanwhile, the Electoral Commission says it is awaiting the final decision of Parliament to decide on the next line of action.
