During his tenures as Secretary to the Speaker, Mr. Maitla acted as an effective liaison between the treasury and opposition benches and played a pivotal role in supporting the Honourable Speaker in the discharge of complex constitutional and legislative responsibilities. Drawing on his extensive experience of working with high-profile dignitaries, he efficiently managed both the political and administrative affairs of the Speaker’s Office, ensuring smooth coordination between the Custodian of the House, elected Members, the Federal Secretariat, and the National Assembly Secretariat.

As Additional Secretary (Administration), Mr. Maitla spearheaded initiatives to modernize the Parliament House through the adoption of contemporary technologies, resulting in improved energy conservation and enhanced administrative efficiency.
