In May 2017, the Ethiopian House of Representatives carried out a range of its constitutional responsibilities. These included enacting or amending laws, overseeing executive agencies, engaging in parliamentary diplomacy, and conducting field visits to various federal institutions. In addition to these core duties, the House conducted a self-review of its nine-month performance, provided capacity-building training for its members, and summoned the Minister of Foreign Affairs to appear before the plenary to discuss a range of foreign affairs issues. Our May publication offers a detailed overview of these activities and a concise Bridge’s observational insights on one law enacted during May.
