Parliament ‘homeless’

TONGA – As Tonga struggles to recover from Cyclone Gita, authorities are looking for somewhere to host the next Parliamentary sessions next month.

Parliament needs a place to meet between March 1-15 so MPs can process bills and laws that are required for the government’s 2018-2019 budget.

A parliamentary spokesperson said the Speaker’s Office was working urgently to decide on a suitable venue before informing all members of parliament.

Tonga’s Parliament House, which was more than a century old, was flattened by tropical cyclone Gita.
