House of Assembly, National parliament in Ambo, Kiribati
The legislative building features a white exterior design with a traditional Pacific roof structure situated alongside the lagoon waters of South Tarawa.
The Maneaba ni Maungatabu evolved from an Advisory Council established in 1963 to become the national parliament after Kiribati gained independence in 1979.
The parliament building incorporates elements of traditional Kiribati meeting houses, where representatives gather to discuss national matters following local customs.
The parliament consists of 46 members, including 44 elected representatives, one nominated member from Rabi, and the Attorney-General as an ex-officio member.
This legislature combines British and American systems, with the President elected nationally and selecting cabinet members from parliament while maintaining local governance traditions.
