Strengthened Executive-Legislative Engagement
A cordial and effective working relationship between the Executive and the legislature is essential for actualising the objectives of the House’s Legislative Agenda and delivering good governance to the people.

We, therefore, undertake to implement the following legislative measures in the 10th House of Representatives:
1. Work with the Senate and the Executive to establish a Tripartite Committee with members drawn from the legislature, Executive
and party. The mandate of this Committee is to discuss major government policies or required legislations before they are made
public or communicated to the National Assembly, especially where legislative intervention is required.
2. Institutionalise pre-budget engagement between the various MDAs and the relevant oversight committees to minimise the frictions
that normally characterise the budget process between the arms of government. We will also introduce pre-budget retreats between
legislators and their counterparts from the Executive to foster collaboration.
