GABORONE โ Parliamentary Services Division has brought together focal persons from Ministries and Government Departments for a workshop aimed at strengthening coordination and communication between the Executive and Legislative Arms of Government.
Opening the half-day workshop under the theme โBridging the Gap between Parliament and its Stakeholders,โ Clerk of the National Assembly, Dr Gabriel G. G. Malebang, emphasised that Parliament does not operate in isolation. Effective parliamentary business depends on timely, accurate and coordinated engagement with Ministries.
The workshop explored the processing of parliamentary business, coordination in the work of Parliamentary Committees and Bills, Editorial Services, Research and Library Services, and BW Speaks online platform, highlighting the important role of focal persons as links between Ministries and Parliament.
The engagement highlighted that Parliamentary Services Units and Ministries must work closely and efficiently to facilitate the smooth processing of Government business before Parliament; from legislation and parliamentary questions to committee work, information requests and oversight matters.
When these processes are swift, seamless and well-coordinated, Members of Parliament and Ministers are better supported to discharge their responsibilities, enabling Parliament and Government to respond more effectively to the needs of Batswana.
The Acting Deputy Clerk, Mr Bethuel Moreme, in his closing remarks, encouraged participants to sustain the relationships established through the workshop, stressing that its value would ultimately be measured by how the lessons translate into improved day-to-day collaboration.
The workshop reiterated a shared commitment to agile, professional and responsive public service, because when Parliament and Ministries work better together, Batswana are served better.
