The Speaker asserted this at the inaugural session of the assembly on Tuesday, where he further assured that he is committed towards fostering unity, and championed good governance that will touch every legislative and staff of the assembly.
In his acceptance speech, Liman however, said that, it has become important to recognised the diverse background of the people, and
form a good environment where the lawmakers can collectively best serve the interest of their constituents.
While calling for cordial executive-legislative relationship, he also said: “we will support the government with legislative duties and work to ensure that all laws passed by this honourable house are for the benefit of the people of the state.
” We will work closely with the executive arm to ensure that the needs and expectations of our constituents are met.”
