Members can respond to the growing public pressure for greater involvement, information, accountability, and better service delivery to citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Hon. Jatta explained further: \u201cThere is already growing interest more than ever before in issues related to democracy, peace and development. This is a reflection of the increasing acceptance of the fact that democracy and good governance are not a luxury, but a fundamental requirement to achieve sustainable development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hon. Jatta added that in the performance of their key functions of legislation, representation and oversight, parliaments can actively engage in the development and implementation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParliamentarians speak on behalf of the poor and other vulnerable groups, ensure that development plans are informed by the real priorities on the ground, adopt requisite legislation, approve budget allocations and exercise oversight functions to effectively deliver on this herculean task,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Hon. Speaker, the engagement will also accord Hon. Members the opportunity to share experiences with the resource persons to illustrate the different options that the national assembly can use to better engage with the citizens to fulfil its role of representation and identify innovations and experiences from other countries to show how parliamentary representation is evolving.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
