By:MoDuale

Horndiplomat-Uganda Parliament has invited five Somaliland MPs to be observers at 64th Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference, 2019 in Kampala Uganda.

Somaliland parliamentarian delegation led by deputy speaker of Somaliland house of representatives Ahmed Yasin Sh. Ali Ayanle accompanied by Mp Ahmed Abdi nur kijandhe Parliamentary Committee Chairman on Foreign Affairs, MP Abdiasis Ismail Du’ale deputy chairman of foreign affairs committee, MP Mohamed H. Yusuf webeye Parliamentary Committee Chairman of Environment and Natural Resources and the parliamentary secretary, Abdirisaq Sa’eed Ayanle.

The 64th edition of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference kicked off Monday with various workshops discussing issues of common interest to the delegates from over 50 countries.

The Conference (CPC) hosted by the CPA Uganda Branch and the Parliament of Uganda.

The main conference theme is: ‘Adaption, engagement, and evolution of parliaments in a rapidly changing Commonwealth’.

The CPA flagship event brings together over 500 Parliamentarians, parliamentary staff and decision-makers from across the Commonwealth for this unique conference and networking opportunity.

The CPC offers the prospect of the coming together of the CPA’s global membership of Parliamentarians and Parliamentary staff to address the critical issues facing today’s Parliaments.

With the ever-increasing focus on greater scrutiny of Parliamentarians and the overall public trust deficit in Parliaments, the CPA’s annual conference will offer the opportunity for Members to benefit from professional development, supportive learning and the sharing of best practice with colleagues from Commonwealth Parliaments together with the participation of leading international organisations.

During the 64th Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference, there will also be a number of additional conferences and meetings including 37th CPA Small Branches Conference; 6th triennial Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians (CWP) Conference; 64th CPA General Assembly; meetings of the CPA Executive Committee; and the Society of Clerks at the Table (SOCATT) meetings. This year, the conference will hold elections for the Chairperson of the Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians (CWP), the CPA Treasurer and the CPA Small Branches Chairperson for new three-year terms.
