LEGISLATURE FACULTY

Faculty Description

Through their three main functions of representation, legislation and oversight, the legislative arms of governments connect the citizens of countries in democratic dispensations to their governments. This they do by providing the place where citizens’ needs are articulated by being made to have a say in shaping their laws and having a recourse when government powers are abused. By this means, the legislative arms facilitate the rapid development of countries.

The extent to which the legislature does this depends on the quality of legislators and legislative staff, which is partly determined by such being provided training and retraining opportunities. The courses designed for this faculty aim at building the capacities of legislators and legislative staff in order to sharpen their effectiveness in preparing for, and participating in, the legislative process appropriately.
