SMN News learnt that an emailed convocation was sent to each of the members of parliament. Copies of the convocation were also sent to the faction offices where the MP's were asked to pick up their hard copy convocation.
During this meeting the proposed candidate Franklyn Hanze will not be allowed to participate in the meeting since the members of parliament already indicated that they have several questions that they would be asking pertaining to the appointment of the general secretary as well as his functions. Chairlady of parliament Gracita Arrindell had hoped parliament would have approved the appointment on Monday during the first working meeting. However, the National Alliance faction proposed that the agenda point on the appointment of the general secretary be discussed in a closed door central committee meeting.
Chairlady Gracita Arrindell in her proposal to parliament said the general secretary who is already working would be appointed in the interim for a period of six months. In the proposal submitted to parliament signed by the chairlady it states that Hanze will be receiving a total package of Naf: 11,210 per week. The amount includes housing, car rental, food, airport tax, airline tickets and his weekly fees.
