House of Representatives Dissolves All Ad-Hoc Committees

The House of Representatives announced the immediate dissolution of all its ad-hoc committees, effective August 28, 2026. This decision was communicated by Clerk of the House, Sidi Ibrahim, in a statement released on Saturday.

The dissolution follows the interim report made public by the Yusuf Gagdi-led ad-hoc committee investigating the alleged illegal establishment of the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC) on September 2, 2026. Sidi Ibrahim noted that only two ad-hoc committees requested extensions, which were granted, but did not specify which committees were involved.

He emphasized that ad-hoc committees are temporary and must conclude their assignments within the allotted time as per the House's Standing Orders. Consequently, all activities related to these committees must cease immediately, and chairmen are instructed to submit all outstanding reports and materials to the Clerk's office for safekeeping.
