Prime Minister Abiy to Appear at Parliament to Address Questions Tomorrow

Addis Ababa, July 6, 2026 (ENA) —Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed will be appearing at Parliament on Tuesday to present the federal government's performance over the just-concluded Ethiopian fiscal year and respond to questions from lawmakers on key national issues.

According to an announcement issued by the House of People's Representatives today, the Prime Minister will deliver his report during the House’s 30th regular session on July 7, 2026, providing an assessment of the implementation of the federal government's 2018 Ethiopian fiscal year development plan.

Members of Parliament are expected to question the Prime Minister on the government's overall performance, policy implementation and other national priorities, including the proposed federal budget for the 2019 Ethiopian fiscal year.

The parliamentary session forms part of the House's constitutional oversight responsibility.

Under Article 55(17) of the Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, together with Article 81(1) and (3) of the House's Rules of Procedure and Members' Code of Conduct, Parliament has the authority to summon the Prime Minister and other senior federal officials to account for government activities, while exercising its mandate to examine, monitor and oversee the executive branch.

In the same sitting, lawmakers are also expected to review the report and recommendations submitted by the House Standing Committee on Planning, Budget and Finance regarding the draft federal budget for the 2019 Ethiopian fiscal year.

Following deliberations, Parliament is anticipated to approve the federal budget proclamation, paving the way for implementation of the government's spending priorities in the new fiscal year.
