The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has ordered the immediate dissolution of all ad hoc committees, effective August 28, 2026. This decision was made due to the expiration of the allotted time for committees to complete their assignments and submit reports. According to the circular signed by the Clerk of the House, Sidi Ibrahim, only two committees sought and obtained extensions of time, but these have now expired.

The Clerk emphasized that ad hoc committees are temporary and not intended to last indefinitely beyond their purpose. Committee chairmen were instructed to turn over all outstanding reports, working documents, and materials to the Clerk's office for safekeeping. The House aims to enforce stricter adherence to its rules regarding the duration and reporting obligations of temporary committees.
