Lack of opposition, delayed hearings and non-transparency. The irregularities Promo-LEX found during the last two plenary sessions of Parliament
The absence of the opposition from plenary sittings affects the legislative process and does not ensure a genuine debate on the subjects under consideration, Promo-LEX notes. In this regard, the experts recommend that the Permanent Bureau propose holding plenary sittings dedicated to parliamentary opposition projects, as provided for in the Rules of Procedure, and that the parliamentary opposition refrain from not attending the entire plenary sitting or even 2 consecutive sittings, especially in the context of hearing reports from public authorities.
