He added: > I want us all to reflect back and take note of our deliberations during the past few years where, as Parliament, we called for complete separation of budgetary allocations within the different organs of government so as not to compromise the oversight role of Parliament. > In other jurisdictions, Parliament’s budget is not even debated or amended. It is just adopted as it is. Therefore, in order for Parliament as an oversight institution to accomplish its mandate effectively and efficiently during the year 2021 going forward, it is crucial that it be adequately funded so that it is able to fulfil its constitutional mandate consummately. Mudenda also said called for the capacitation of the Auditor-General’s office saying it plays an essential role in curbing corruption in the country, only if it has the capacity to do so. He also said that corruption undermines the trust between the citizens and the State adding that although the issue was common across jurisdictions, how communities dealt with it was different.
