SECTION 4

(1) The National Assembly shall ensure compliance with the incompatibility provisions laid down in the Constitution and in the Electoral Code. (2) The office of Member of the National Assembly shall be incompatible with State-remunerated public duties. Consequently, any public officer elected to the National Assembly shall be immediately replaced. In addition, he shall be placed on secondment at the Parliament where, a month following his election, he does not indicate that he declines the office of Member of the National Assembly. (3) However, the provisions of Section 4(2) shall not apply to Members of the National Assembly entrusted with temporary or extraordinary assignments by the Government. (4) The concurrent holding of the office of Member of the National Assembly and performance of such assignments shall not exceed 2 (two) years. However, after expiry of such period, the assignment may be renewed by decree after consultation of the Bureau. (5) The Bureau of the National Assembly shall be immediately notified of placement on assignment by the Government.
