Draft law: Executive power shared out
Posted Tuesday, November 17 2009 at 22:30
In the Senate, each region shall have one vote to be cast on behalf of the region by the head of its delegation or its representative. A member of the Cabinet or a deputy minister may attend and speak in the Senate, but is not allowed to vote. Each House of Parliament will regulate its own procedure and might establish committees and make standing orders for its proceedings. Parliament might further establish joint committees from both Houses.

Too much time is being wasted on the executive while the REST of the document goes unscrutinised. This is appalling and I would be very worried to to see it passed ad hock.

This draft is already confusing. Does Kitonga mean that both the President and the PM will be making appointments?Who is the final political authority? Having competing power centres is just a recipe for chaos. Have a directly elected President or PM where the buck stops, not both.

I would like to suggest doing away with sycophantic and hero-worshiping references on public offices.It should be illegal to call anyone "His Excellency","your Excellency", "Honorable" , "His Worship" etc.That brings about the culture of hero worshiping. we should adopt the American way and say Mr President, President A, Senator B, Assemblywoman X etc. and by the way, whats the use of a military aide-de-camp to the president? it looks so crude.
