Young people have perhaps suffered the worst from the suffocating restrictions of lockdown. But with the gradual easing of some measures next week, Carlisle Youth Zone will be reopening their doors – to much excitement from youngsters across the area. The youth zone has put strict Covid-19 safety procedures in place and the team is currently working on a timetable for activities for the indoor spaces to be properly and efficiently used as well as reducing any possible spread of infection. Youngsters are offered a wide selection of sports to get engaged with, from football to lacrosse, boxing, badminton, tennis, netball, basketball and even fencing and climbing and more.

The Committee on Appointments and the Public Service which is being chaired and championed by the Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Sheku B.B Dumbuya has done a spectacular job in vetting proposed presidential nominees through established procedures that subsequently led to their approval by the plenary. In strict separation of powers as determined by the 1991 Constitution, and in exercise of executive powers conferred on the Presidency, only the President has the prerogative to single handedly hire and fire ministers and other appointees at will, but that such appointments are subject to the scrutiny and approval of Parliament.
