Energy &amp; Power Development: Hon. Engineer L Mhangwa (CCC)<\/p>\n<p>Parliamentary committees are crucial in the legislative process and democratic governance. They scrutinise proposed laws, government policies, and actions. They ensure effectiveness, legality, and adherence to constitutional principles, holding officials accountable. Committees conduct research, consult stakeholders, and develop policy recommendations. They investigate matters of public interest, gather evidence, and make recommendations. Public participation is encouraged through public hearings, allowing diverse perspectives. Committees consist of experts in specific policy areas, bringing informed decision-making. Cross-party collaboration promotes consensus and cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>The composition of parliamentary committees is important as clashes may arise if actions conflict with party interests. For instance, when <b>Tendai Biti<\/b> chaired the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), he faced obstacles when trying to bring <b>Kuda Tagwirei<\/b>, the CEO of Sakunda Holdings Group, before the committee. ZANU PF officials, who were committee members, blocked Biti\u2019s efforts. Biti believed Tagwirei received a contract for the Dema diesel electricity generation plant without due process and wanted him to explain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
