Our latest topic of street chatter talk has been the fight to lead Uganda’s next Parliament. Ideally, this is a critical and consequential matter.
In a genuine democratic polity, the legislature is by far the most important of the three branches of government, in fact more important than the Executive, for its two core functions.
First, Parliament makes laws and provides the basis for government policies and programmes. Second, it provides checks and balances on the exercise of authority by the other two branches of government, the Judiciary and Executive, and all other agencies of State and government. More generally, Parliament is supposed to be the real voice of the people, in the service of the common good and defence of the public interest.
