Parliament plays an important role in budget preparation---Diawara Mamadou

The Vice President of the Ivorian National Assembly, Diawara Mamadou, said that parliament played an important role in the preparation of budgets both nationally and in international organisations.

He said that for ECOWAS, where Parliament plays a fundamental role in monitoring through budget preparation and oversight, it was important for constituents to be informed about parliament’s actions regarding budgetary matters.

According to him, parliament is responsible for preparing and overseeing the execution of individual national budgets, so it is fundamental to understand how the community parliament examines and controls its budget.
 
He made these remarks on Monday, August 12, 2024, during a delocalized joint Committee meeting in Ivory Coast. 
“The general debate provides a platform for sharing experiences and developing proposals, enabling participants to enhance their capabilities and propose improvements to the existing mechanisms.

“I am therefore pleased that this relocated meeting in Abidjan addresses such an important subject as the budget,” he said.
