Malawi Parliament is installing e-Chamber equipment in order to enhance House Business.
MBC Digital understands the new system includes sound management, electronic document management and e-voting.
The development is in line with Parliament’s 2021-2026 Strategic Plan, which details the need to digitally transform for improved service delivery to the people of Malawi.
The installation of the e-Chamber system is being done with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The new system is expected to roll out when Parliament reconvenes on 26 August, 2024.
Speaker of Parliament Catherine Gotani Hara says parliamentarians are expected to be oriented on the new gadgets possibly on Sunday and Monday.
In May this year, government also installed 26 Kilowatts solar power plant meant for power backup at Parliament to ensure that parliamentarians are deliberating without power interruptions.
