Members of Parliament have been assured of adequate financial resources to enable them to carry through the business of the House.
Business for the second session of the sixth Parliament started on Tuesday.
Deputy Minority leader, Mr Dominic Nitiwul, and the Majority Leader, Dr Benjamin Kunbour, assured the House of their readiness to get members to work extra hours to get most of the bills through.
"Parliament has a backlog of bills and we anticipate many more to come, for which we have to meet, including all committee meetings which we all know are the backbone of Parliamentary business,” Mr Nitiwul said.
He noted that "I make this plea very mindful of the serious logistical and financial challenges facing MPs, but still I hope the various groups within Parliament will find a way of getting resources to enable them to carry out their activities."
The Majority Leader, for his part, said the stakes were very high, and urged MPs to live up to expectation.
"I would equally entreat members, and as I keep saying, the stakes are very high and the public is watching us in terms of our attendance and performance of our parliamentary duties," Dr Kunbour said.
