Fiona Kalemba is the Clerk of Parliament, the head of the National Assembly’s staff and its chief adviser on procedure. The Clerk is a public servant, not an elected member.
She was sworn in as Clerk in January 2016, the most senior civil service post in Parliament. Some MPs challenged her appointment in court, arguing she had not been the top candidate; the High Court found the President was entitled to appoint her.
After the 2025 election she ran the vote in which Sameer Suleman was elected Speaker, and opened a UNDP-funded induction course for new MPs, describing committees as the engine room of Parliament.
