Abstract
The research focused on legislative oversight and economic governance in Namibia by evaluating the role
of Parliament in the budget process, namely consultations, formulation, debate and approval,
implementation and auditing and assessment. The research therefore examined the work of Parliament and
its Standing Committees in the budget process and established the problems that were being encountered in
particular since 1995 when Parliament adopted a report on the report on the Agenda for Change was
adopted which made several recommendations on the reforms that Parliament needed to undertake in order
to become more effective. The research looked at the internal and external factors that affected
Parliament’s role in the budget process. Thus specific questions related to the role of Parliament in the
budget process were answered. These were related to whether Parliamentarians have the relevant skills,
capacity and necessary support services to enable them to play an important role in the budget process;
whether the Ministry of Finance and other Government Ministries and Departments were providing
Parliament and its Standing Committees with comprehensive, accurate, appropriate and timely information
on budget related issues and whether the legal framework in Namibia adequately empowered and
facilitated Parliament to exercise oversight in the budget process.
