The weeklong event culminated to a mock Youth Parliament on the last day conducted by the young representatives who had been learning about leadership and governance, roles and responsibilities of Members of Parliament (MPs) and the work of Parliament and its roles and responsibilities.
Deputy Clerk - Chamber Service Basil Kambuliagen, during the event, said the work of the Service was to serve the Parliament of the day without fear or favour and was committed to providing the best service for the aspiring parliamentarians.

Mr Kambuliagen encouraged them to take Parliamentary advantage of the information sessions during the week to learn as much as they could to familiarise themselves with parliamentary processes and procedures.
Ofﬁ cers from respective PS divisions including Civics and Education, Bills & Papers, Reporting, Serjeant-At-Arms, Committees, Legal Service and Parliamentary Media Service assisted with information and support to prepare them well, so as to participate effectively in the mock session as youth parliamentarians.
The PS team did an exceptional job in assisting the participants with formulating Questions and Answers for debate and creating a mock Bill in preparation for the mock Parliament session, with the ofﬁ cers standing in to ofﬁ ciate at the meeting, which turned out to be a huge success.

There are plans to have the event hosted again next year and is expected to be bigger and better.

Most users using digital handsets like mobile phones and PCs (Personal Computer) have come across the word Cloud Technology or simply cloud computing.
In a nutshell let’s see what cloud technology really means and why it is pivotal in our working sphere and our daily uses of technology.

When experts use words such as technology, they are simply or referring softwares that are programmed to dictate and manipulate how machines (like your phone/ PCs) and equipment should operate to produce certain outcomes.

In any technology or engineering application there is always that phenomenon where there is that processing input output the and component component.
Imagine you want to call someone, you dial his/ her number (input component), the phone received the number to and digital/ electricalsignals (processing component) and ﬁ nally you can hear your friend speaking on the other end (output component).

Different industries utilize different technologies that are critical in their operations.

In this 21st century we have seen the usage the rapid surge of applications and software to meet the high market demand.
Those applications and softwares now require more sophisticated machines or processors that will handle, interconnect with other machines and process high-speed data trafﬁ c efﬁ ciently.

Machines such as network switches, servers and storage with high processing capabilities are built to interface with the applications/ softwares processthem in switches, Technology to address and other machines to process and store digital information.

Switches, servers and storages are simply high processing computers.
Traditionally, applications run on simple computer(s) and depending on the industry the number of computers can increase which are often too difﬁ cult to maintain and managed because the data cannot be stored and backed up in a centralized way.

In addition, many computers and storage resources are not fully utilized with high maintenance cost, poor security and high energy consumption resulting with high capital expenditure.

have Cloud those come about challenges.


Cloud somethings refer to as “Internet”, which is simply the centralized hosting of all computing resources including; servers, networking storage, software, applications and other critical infrastructures like electricity for power and cooling and other security parameters.
