Kerala Council of Churches (KCC) will be organising a consultation on `Kerala Legislature, role and performance’ at Beleivers’ Church Youth Centre in Thiruvalla on Tuesday.

According to Prof Thomas, the proceedings of the Kerala Legislative Assembly these days have been a matter of serious discussion and evaluation by the media, especially following the live transmission of the proceedings of the House, enabling the public to have a direct assessment, he said.

Dr N.K. Jayakumar, Vice-Chancellor of National University of Advanced Legal Studies, will deliver the keynote address.

Mathew T. Thomas, MLA; Joseph M. Puthusserry and Elizabeth Mammen Mathai, former MLAs, will address the function.
