National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula has banned all parliamentary committees from holding meetings in fancy hotels as the government's recently announced austerity measures begin to bite.

The National Assembly committees are expected to start meeting on Monday to, among other things, consider the supplementary estimates and supplementary appropriations to give effect to the government's revised budget following the rejection of the Finance Bill, 2024.
