“The consultant has been hired to digitalize the Parliament by January 2023. All the call attention notices, adjourned motions, attendances, voting, and other businesses will be done online through technology.”
Moreover, the Minister further added that this would include training for the parliamentarians so that they could become familiar with the technology. In addition to this, a paperless cabinet meeting was held in order to bring more emphasis to the new era of adopting technological advancements.
