The President of the Pan-African Parliament (PAP), Hon. Chief Fortune Charumbira has welcomed Mrs. Lindiwe Khumalo into her new position as Clerk of Parliament, ahead of her oath of office later today.
The two held an introductory meeting to discuss key priority areas. The President engaged the Clerk about her role in ensuring the practical implementation of the Bureau’s commitment to “revive, renew, reposition and reinvigorate” the Pan-African Parliament.
Mrs. Khumalo becomes the first woman to take charge of the Secretariat of the Continental Parliament since the institution’s establishment in 2004. Her appointment was endorsed by the PAP Plenary in June this year, in accordance with Rule 17 (f) of the Rules of Procedure, following a competitive process to fill the position that had remained vacant for over a year.
