Parliament will resume on March 28 for its last term of sitting before the General Elections.
Leader of Government Business James Marape made the announcement on Tuesday in Parliament after the swearing-in of the country’s 10th Governor General Bob Dadae.
The new Governor General took his oath and declaration before Chief Justice Sir Salamo Injia.
The official swearing-in ceremony was the only business of the day during parliament sitting.
Marape also announced that Teleformin MP Solan Mirisim is appointed as the Citizenship Committee chairman, and Angoram MP Salio Waipo is now the deputy chairman of the Public Accounts Committee.
Both MPs replaced Dadae who had resigned as a Member of Parliament to take up the vice regal position.
The much anticipated final reading of the Organic Law on National and Local-level Government Elections to increase the nomination fees and security costs of an election petition final will be brought before Parliament.
