Ngoma opposes the removal of National Assembly’s oversight role in the contraction of public debt

Political Scientist Dr. Alex Ngoma has called on Zambians to rally together and oppose any attempt to remove the National Assembly’s oversight role in the contraction of public debt.

Section 13 of the constitution amendment Bill number 10 proposes the amendment of Article 63 of the Constitution Act by the deletion of provisions requiring the National Assembly’s oversight over contraction of public debt and ratification of agreements and treaties.

But Dr. Ngoma has told QTV news that Parliament should be allowed to exercise oversight on debt contraction.

He says democracy is not a one man’s show, but is about checks and balances, thus the need for Parliament not to remove the clause from the constitution.
