Q
How has the system of parliamentary committee affected the overseeing and appraisal of legislation by the Parliament?
A
The Parliament meets only for sessions, hence it has limited time to consider a bill
in depth.
Parliament committees have been set up since 1983 in the various departments to
discuss the particular bill.
These committees include business advisory committees, estimate committee, the
public accounts committee, etc.
These committees have reduced the burden of Parliament as they gather whole
information on the bill and can ask any member to appear before it.
After that committee sends its report, the Parliament debates on it as well as provide
some necessary recommendations and approve it.
Without the approval of Parliament, no bill can become a law, but any suggestion is
rarely rejected.
