Jatiya Sangshad has constituted a 10-member project implementation committee to ensure the rapid and effective execution of the 'e-Jatiya Sangshad Project' formulated by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
Formed on Thursday under the overall direction of Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed, the committee is headed by Deputy Speaker Barrister Kaisar Kamal as its chairman.
The committee includes Members of Parliament A B M Ashraf Uddin (Nizan), Nayab Yusuf Ahmed, Mir Ahmad Bin Quasem, Sayeed Al Noman, Hummam Quader Chowdhury, Mohammad Najibur Rahman, Akhter Hossen, Lutfullahel Majed, and Anna Minj. The Director General (B&IT) of the Parliament Secretariat will serve as the committee secretary.
The committee’s primary mandate is to thoroughly review the Development Project Proposal (DPP) of the UNDP-drafted project and provide necessary recommendations. Additionally, the panel will oversee required implementation activities aimed at establishing a modern, technology-driven e-Parliament.
Provision has also been made to co-opt new members into the committee as needed to facilitate the project's smooth progression. This initiative aims to expand the use of technology in parliamentary operations and modernize legislative processes.
