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 the Parliament 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 emphasized that the executive's decision without legislative oversight is a concern, stating that it clips the legislative's power in decisions undertaken by the executive.
The MP for Maun North warned that this should be a wake-up call for legislators, as decisions taken by the executive without oversight could lead to negative consequences.
