The infestation is due to rats breeding in the ceilings, especially active at night, and causing damage in various offices, including chewing through important files.

The CDA will also get help from the private sector and has a year-long budget to manage the rat problem.

The National Assembly Secretariat has confirmed that the CDA will oversee the rat eradication efforts.
