ZANU PF MP Bemoans The Secrecy Around Govt Deals With Outsiders

A ZANU PF legislator has called for the disclosure of government contracts and other agreements with outsiders to allow Parliaments to exercise oversight on the executive.

Edmond Mrakatigwa, who is Parliament’s mines committee chair, said this while speaking at a SADC Regional Learning Conference on Mining, Energy and Infrastructure Contracts on Friday. He said:

Parliaments have however been involved in issues of national contracts at a later stage and usually where they would have found fault through audit reports after the damage would have been caused already.

That is why there is a need for us to re-think, especially parliaments in the way in which we do business.

It is our view that non-disclosure agreements to a certain extent impede our oversight role as parliamentarians.

Some of these resources are non-renewable and we are walking an edge where every miss is costly to us and our future generation as African parliamentarians. We need to reassert our role as parliamentarians.
