Parliament has extended the term of National Assembly Clerk Michael Sialai by one year.
The Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) met and resolved to extend the clerk's term as he hits retirement age of 60 next month.
Sialai’s term was to end on May 25, 2021, when he was set to retire but it has since been extended to July 2022.
This means the recruitment of a new clerk will start in February 2022.
In a letter to the Parliamentary Joint Services, PSC secretary Jeremiah Nyegenye announced that it would re-appoint Sialai on contract upon retirement.
