In Ethiopia's legislative system, the parliamentary session takes place with regular meetings of parliamentarian on Tuesdays and Thursdays, standing committee tasks and extraordinary and special meetings called by the speaker.[1][2] The regular meeting attended by the prime minister broadcast on national television. The period is when the member of parliaments expected to appear formally and usually wear suit or traditional attire.[3]
Live or replayed broadcast of the session typically begins two days per week. Many officials discontented with the session. For instance, in October 2012, Abay Tsehaye, a senior official of TPLF commented that the "parliament’s program on Ethiopian Television is the least attractive."[3][4]
