"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other thing is that the Cabinet will be approved by the National Assembly. Parliament also has the authority to hold the Executive branch, because it can fire Ministers of the Executive. When it comes to impeachment, for the first time, if this goes through, we will have impeachment powers in this country. As I speak now, we have the ability to impeach in the books, but there is a suicide pact. So, if this House were to carry a vote of no confidence in the Executive, the House then has to go. The House naturally, does not want to end its own life. Therefore, the Executive has a free ride. That will end because if this proposal goes through, the lives of the House and Executive are not intertwined. Indeed, for the first time, we will have a free calendar of the National Assembly, so that Parliament and the National Assembly is free of the control of the Executive. But more importantly, Parliament can check the Executive by impeaching a sitting Head of State without having to end the life of Parliament."
