Our team of experts reviewed the annual parliamentary oversight report, focusing on the legacy of the 6th Parliament and the transition to the 7th. They stressed the need for a more strategic and systematic approach to oversight, ensuring Parliament is adequately resourced, and giving officials sufficient time to respond. Additionally, they emphasised the importance of benchmarking best practices, enhancing governance, and strengthening oversight mechanisms in the 7th Parliament.
