The Attorney of the National Assembly Secretariat on NAECHS apprised the committee that next hearing of the six cases filed by three employees of the National Assembly Secretariat and three employees of ICT against the implementation of the report of the Standing Committee on House & Library is likely to be held on first and second week of May.
