The director said the administrative action is intended solely to authenticate and formally reflect the legislative decisions of the national assembly.

He added that the review is confined to institutional processes and does not imply or concede any defect in the exercise of legislative authority by either chamber.

Bi-Allah said the exercise is being undertaken without prejudice to the powers, functions, or actions of any other arm or agency of government.

“The National Assembly remains fully committed to the principles of constitutionalism, separation of powers, and due process.

“Where procedural or administrative refinements are identified, appropriate measures will be taken in accordance with the law and established parliamentary conventions.
