Speaker Among rallies Members of Parliament (MP)s to prioritise efficiency in final session
Addressing the plenary sitting on Wednesday, 30 July 2025, Speaker Among expressed concern over the low attendance.
'I want to welcome you to this afternoon's sitting. I get surprised when the seats are empty. We have not yet reached September. So when we reach September, what will happen?' she asked.
The Speaker revealed that the Parliamentary Business Committee had met earlier in the day and successfully outlined key priorities for the remainder of the term.
'We did prioritise the business of the session, and that's the Fifth Session. And remember, this is our last session for the 11th Parliament, and the meeting emphasised more on greater efficiency and effectiveness in committees,' she said.
Among underscored the importance of committee work in determining the productivity of the House and appealed for cooperation.
'And out of that efficiency, that is what is going to make this session productive or Parliament productive. I want to request you to support the Business Committee, support Parliament in running the business. I will request that we finish whatever we are supposed to finish in time or early enough for us to be able to allow you to go for elections,' she said.

Eswatini's Digital Transformation Crucial to Unlocking Growth, Jobs, and Economic Resilience
Eswatini needs to digitalize, strengthen public finances and address structural economic constraints to sustain growth, according to the latest edition of the Eswatini Economic Update (EEU) launched by the World Bank Group (WBG) today, titled: Harnessing the Potential of Digital Technologies for Eswatini's Growth and Job Creation. The report also provides analysis of the country's recent economic performance and prospects for the medium term. Eswatini's economy is projected to grow by about 5% in 2025 through a combination of policies and supportive conditions amid global economic uncertainty. An increase in public and private investment is projected to contribute to economic activity. The challenge will be to maintain this economic momentum and ensure growth is more inclusive over the medium term. The nation faces pressing needs to digitalize and address structural constraints, diversify its economy and strengthen public finances. The second edition of the EEU identifies digitalization as a key transformative strategy for the country, particularly as it addresses significant challenges such as a 35.4% unemployment rate and structural inefficiencies in vital sectors including agriculture, trade, and services. By accelerating digital transformation, Eswatini can boost productivity, create sustainable new jobs, and increase domestic revenue helping to reduce reliance on volatile revenues. 'This report aligns with the Kingdom of Eswatini's 2024-2028 digital strategy. We welcome the World Bank's insights on how digital transformation can contribute to accelerating our ongoing efforts to boost inclusive economic growth and domestic revenues and in so doing reduce reliance on SACU transfers,' said Honorable Thambo Gina, Minister for Economic Planning and Development for the Kingdom of Eswatini at the report's launch in Mbabane. Eswatini is making progress in expanding digital access, with nearly 95% of the population now covered by 4G networks. However, only about 58% of people are using the internet. One of the main reasons is the high cost of data, which takes up 3.47% of GNI per capita - above what is considered affordable in the region. To boost digital adoption and attract greater investment, the report recommends reforming the telecom market, including restructuring the telecom State-Owned Enterprise, adopting open access policies to ensure that all service providers can use the same network infrastructure on fair and equal terms, and update regulatory frameworks to promote competition and lower costs. In addition, with almost half of the country's Small and Medium Enterprises facing digital adoption barriers, targeted efforts in skills development and entrepreneurship support, including linkages to public procurement, are essential to drive job creation and innovation. 'Eswatini's digital transformation presents an opportunity to drive inclusive growth. Realizing this will require bold reforms to unlock the full potential of digital technologies, including the restructuring of Eswatini Posts and Telecommunications Corporation (EPTC),' said Satu Kahkonen, World Bank Division Director for Eswatini. 'In addition, strengthening coordination across government initiatives, accelerating digital skills development, and fostering innovation will be key to unlocking this potential. Addressing these challenges will enable the country to capture the full benefits of a digital economy." To unlock Eswatini's digital potential for higher economic growth and job creation, the EEU recommends three core policy pillars: (i) Enhance resilience through effective macroeconomic management; (ii) Stimulate job creation through private sector development by improving the enabling environment; (iii) Provide better and more affordable services through efficient public spending. The policy options include strengthening digital governance through clearer institutional roles and a national change management program; accelerating Eswatini Post and Telecommunications Corporation (EPTC) reforms to enhance operational efficiency and introduce open access; investing in digital public infrastructure, including a modern digital ID system; developing a National Digital Skills Action Plan aligned with labor market needs; and fostering a competitive innovation ecosystem through regulatory reforms, financing access, and support for startups via public procurement opportunities. Addressing these priorities will position Eswatini to harness digital transformation for broader economic inclusion and growth. Distributed by APO Group on behalf of The World Bank Group.

Uganda: Nubian community petitions over years of marginalisation
The Nubian community in Uganda has petitioned Parliament, seeking intervention over decades of alleged discrimination and neglect by successive governments. Despite being recognized as an indigenous tribe in the 1995 Constitution, the community claims it has been marginalized politically, economically, and socially. In a petition presented by to Parliament by Hon. Hassan Kirumira (NUP, Katikamu South) on Wednesday, 30 July 2025, the Nubians highlight historical injustices and ongoing challenges faced, particularly in Bombo town, their traditional home. 'Even though we are citizens of Uganda, the Nubian community is still left out politically, economically, and socially,' the petition reads. Nubians trace their roots in Uganda back to 1844 and have since integrated into Ugandan society through intermarriage and national development contributions. 'Nubians are rarely considered for public service appointments, including ministries, government boards, and foreign missions,' Kirumira said adding that they are barely represented in local government structures. The petitioners appealed to President Museveni to fulfill his promise of upgrading Bombo to a municipality, which would bring dignity, jobs, and development to the area. The community also seeks redress for past injustices, including compensation for losses suffered during the 1979 war following the fall of Idi Amin's regime. Additionally, they highlight current challenges such as inadequate healthcare facilities, youth unemployment, school dropouts and teenage pregnancies. In the petition, the Nubians call on the government to address their concerns and ensure their inclusion and participation in national development.

Golar LNG Strengthens Africa Commitment as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) Federico Petersen Joins African Energy Week (AEW) 2025 Speaker Lineup
Federico Petersen, Chief Commercial Officer of marine LNG infrastructure operator Golar LNG, has confirmed his participation as a speaker at African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energies 2025, taking place from September 29 to October 3 in Cape Town. His participation follows a series of landmark achievements across the continent, positioning Golar LNG at the forefront of Africa's natural gas revolution. In July 2025, the company announced that its Gimi floating LNG (FLNG) unit has reached commercial operations date under a 20-year lease-and-operate agreement for the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) project offshore Senegal and Mauritania. Backed by an estimated 15 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of natural gas, the Gimi facility will produce 2.4 million tons per annum (mtpa) of LNG, ramping up to its nameplate capacity of 2.7 mtpa. AEW: Invest in African Energies is the platform of choice for project operators, financiers, technology providers and government, and has emerged as the official place to sign deals in African energy. Visit for more information about this exciting event. In Nigeria, Golar LNG signed a project development agreement in June 2024 with global energy company the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation for the deployment of a new FLNG facility offshore the Niger Delta. With a planned processing capacity of 400-500 million standard cubic feet per day, the facility will produce LNG, LPG and condensate, with first gas targeted for 2027. The project falls under Nigeria's broader 'Decade of Gas' initiative, which aims to monetize the country's 209 tcf of gas reserves and accelerate energy access and industrial growth. Supported by reforms such as the Petroleum Industry Act and the Nigerian Gas Flaring Commercialization Program, the project is a critical step toward establishing Nigeria as a global gas hub. In Cameroon, Golar LNG operates the Hilli Episeyo FLNG facility offshore Kribi, which made history as the world's first LNG conversion and the project that introduced Cameroon as the world's 20 th LNG-exporting nation in 2018. In October 2023, the vessel offloaded its 100 th LNG cargo to the Energy Integrity, underscoring nearly six years of reliable operations. With a nameplate capacity of 2.4 mtpa and a strong track record of commercial uptime, Hilli Episeyo continues to serve as a benchmark for small- and mid-scale FLNG deployment. Golar LNG holds a 50% interest in Trains 1 and 2, with the facility enabling the monetization of associated gas while contributing to regional energy diversification and security. 'Golar LNG's proven ability to deliver bankable, scalable FLNG infrastructure in frontier markets has redefined what's possible for gas monetization in Africa. With operations in Senegal, Mauritania, Nigeria and Cameroon, the company is a true partner to Africa's energy future,' states Tomás Gerbasio, VP of Commercial and Strategic Engagement, African Energy Chamber. Federico's participation at AEW: Invest in African Energies highlights Golar LNG's commitment to advancing FLNG development and natural gas monetization across Africa. In line with the company's growing presence in Africa's energy landscape, Golar LNG will participate as a Gold Partner at this year's edition of the conference and exhibition, which serves as a strategic platform to showcase innovative FLNG solutions and a long-term commitment to the continent's energy development.
