Independent Members of Parliament are demanding greater recognition and resources within the National Assembly. They are proposing significant changes to the Standing Orders, which, if adopted, would create a formal leadership structure and dedicated spaces for them in Parliament.

• Independent MPs want an office for their leader, mirroring those of the Majority and Minority leaders.
• They are also requesting a special reserved seat in the Chamber for their leader and representation on the Committee on Selection.
• The proposals, endorsed by all 12 independent MPs, aim to address current disadvantages in committee appointments and ensure their interests are not overlooked.
