What transpires within parliament has to be responded to in parliament - Luveni
Speaker of Parliament Dr Jiko Luveni.

Speaker of Parliament Dr Jiko Luveni told parliament today that what transpires within parliament has to be responded to in parliament.

Dr Luveni made this comment after Opposition MP Niko Nawaikula asked the Education Minister Dr Mahendra Reddy to apologize to the parents in the country.

During the question and answer session, Nawaikula said that Rakiraki High, St Francis Primary, Ra High and other schools have no roofs and tents, and it was stated that these schools will be ready before the school term starts.

He then asked the Education Minister to apologise to the parents for the rain, tents and sun.

The Speaker then said that it was a question session in parliament, not an apologies session.

Meanwhile Dr Mahendra Reddy informed parliament that 95 primary schools sustained damages in Tropical Cyclone Winston.

He says work on 31 schools has been completed and normal classes are running.

Reddy says the paper work of the 56 schools is with the Ministry of Economy to make the direct deposit to the bank accounts of these schools where the schools will be doing construction as per the specification and design they have done.
