KUALA LUMPUR: Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul has reprimanded officials from ministries that failed to provide written replies to members of parliament within five days.
He reminded ministers and deputy ministers of their responsibility to ensure that questions raised in the House were answered within the stipulated period.
“It has come to my attention that one or two ministries have yet to do so,” he said before proceedings began today.
Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee (PN-Beluran) expressed disappointment that repeated reminders to ministers and deputy ministers had gone unheeded.
Johari stressed the importance of ensuring parliamentary business was conducted efficiently, particularly following the enforcement of the Parliamentary Services Act 2025.
He said the house was committed to improving the effectiveness and smooth administration of parliamentary proceedings.
