Parliament to Establish Standing Committee to Oversee ICT Sector

Parliament's General Purpose Committee approved the establishment of a new standing committee to oversee the information and communication technology (ICT) sector. The committee, to be created after a parliamentary vote, will examine ICT matters, oversee service regulators, and hold national activities accountable, but will not cover service providers, which remain under the SOE committee. Currently, 17 standing committees exist, with 14 on state agencies and three on parliamentary affairs. The National Development and Heritage Committee previously oversaw ICT but had many institutions. The new committee aims to enhance accountability in the digital age.
