Maconkoroso ke batho banang le khaello ea memory kapa ba leshano haeba ba se ba re ke bohatelli to prorogue parliament: On the 14 th of January Parliament was prorogued pursuant to section 83 of the Constitution of Lesotho and acting with the advice of the Prime Minister, His Majesty King Letsie proclaimed that the prorogation of Seventh Parliament of Lesotho effective from the 15 th January 2009. The prorogation of Parliament ends a session. This is done by the His Majesty, on the advice of the Prime Minister, by the issuing of a proclamation published in the Lesotho Gazette. Both the Senate and the National Assembly stand prorogued until the opening of the next session. During a period of prorogation (or recess), the Speaker, the Prime Minister, Ministers and Parliamentary Secretaries remain in office and all Members of the House retain their full rights and privileges. The principal effect of ending a session by prorogation is to end business. All government bills that have not received Royal Assent prior to prorogation cease to exist; committee activity also ceases. Thus, no committee can sit after a prorogation. In order for government bills to be proceeded with in a new session, they must be reintroduced as new bills or they may be reinstated, if the House agrees to this. This confused most MP as it was the first time in the history of parliament of Lesotho; parliament was prorogued as way to allow government introspection in its annual plan and service provision. His Majesty re-opened parliament and made the Speech from the Throne and on the 6 th February 2009 to tackle different challenges faced by the Government of Lesotho. SOURCE: trc.org.ls
