Saleshando Calls for Accountability on Health Emergency
Leader of Opposition Dumelang Saleshando has called on President Duma Boko to provide accountability regarding the declaration of a State of Public Health Emergency.
Saleshando expressed concern that the declaration was made immediately after Parliament's winter session, dismissing the move as a mere drama.
We seem to have a trend of a national president who acts alone on very important national issues and remember as Parliament our duty is to provide oversight on the conduct of the executive.
Saleshando warned that the executive's actions without legislative oversight could lead to negative consequences, calling it a wake-up call for legislators.
The MP for Maun North emphasized the importance of parliamentary oversight on executive decisions, citing the declaration of the emergency without parliamentary involvement as an example of the executive clipping the legislative's power.
