Speaker of the National Assembly Patrick Matibini, has described parliamentary constituency offices as vital linkages between the Zambian people and parliament.
Dr. Matibini said the offices play a critical role in enhancing the representative role of Members of Parliament and the electorates.
He said the offices are platforms for advancing both democracy and good governance across the political divide.
He reiterated that the parliamentary constituency offices are not political workplaces but channels of communication between the community and parliament.
The Speaker stated that the National Assembly would continue prioritizing the construction of constituency offices throughout the country.
ZANIS reports that Dr. Matibini said this when he toured Livingstone and Katombola constituency offices in Southern Province.
And Katombola Member of Parliament Derick Livune noted that the building of constituency offices is long overdue.
Good message to MPs and everyone in the constituencies.
