“Your people have reposed their confidence in you and you must work hard not to betray that confidence.”
In his speech, the Speaker of the house, Mr Najeem Salaam, who was also re-elected, described the next dispensation in the assembly as ‘’a new challenge’’ which required more commitment from the legislative arm of government.
He promised that the assembly would continue to do its best to better the lot of the people, to justify the confidence the people have in the members.
