Opposition Leader 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 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 warned that the move by Boko to declare the emergency without Parliament's oversight is a threat to the legislative's power in decision-making.
The MP for Maun North emphasized that this should be a wake-up call to legislators, warning that if decisions are taken by the executive without their oversight, they are heading for the worst.
