‘Parly should hold the executive accountable’

THE Speaker of Parliament Jacob Mudenda has implored Parliament to hold the Executive to account on how it determines and executes public policy and programmes on national peace and security.

This, according to Mudenda, was a critical role in holding those in power accountable and this helps guaranteed constitutionalism, legality and the rule of law, national security as directed by section 119 and section 206 of the Constitution.

Mudenda said this recently while presenting a paper on Parliament’s oversight role and contribution to national security.
