The Cross State House of Assembly, on Thursday, as part of activities to mark the 9th assembly one year in office anniversary kicked off its process of e-legislation with the official launching of its website.
In a speech at the press briefing held at the Assembly chambers, the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Eteng Jonah Williams described it as a dream come true and a huge milestone recorded by the 9th assembly, which according to him would make the assembly more accessible to members of the public and the media. 
Williams further stated that information played vital role in legislative processes and law making, adding “if it is technologically driven, it makes the job of the legislature easier and enhances productivity.
The functional website is www.crsassembly.com.ng for now this is the design site. The main site will be “crshoassembly.gov.ng” when ready. 
It is hoped that when the relevant content is provided, the site will provide information on Membership, House Committees, past Hon. Members/Speakers and their Deputies, Clerks, and existing directorates. 
It will also provide information on proceedings, Bills, Motions and major deliberations of the House.  The site will equally display photos, videos and events or news in respect of the House.
Apart from this, the website will bring Honourable Members closer to their constituents and will provide authentic information for proper guidance of members of the public.
