Abstract: Parliament performs several essential functions including that of making laws, scrutinising and passing the budget, conducting oversight on the activities of the government and representing citizens. As a law making body, Parliament is tasked with examining legislation and passing it after scrutiny and debate. This note presents an analysis of the role of Parliament as a law making body, and ways to strengthen the same.
