The MP for Korle Klottey, Dr. Zanetor Agyemang Rawlings has been called upon to serve as a resource person for the workshop on Parliamentary Oversight of Security and Intelligence, organised by the National Security Council Secretariat.
The discussion underscored the importance of ensuring that parliamentary oversight strengthens national security while deepening democratic legitimacy and public trust.
Dr. Zanator Agyemang Rawlings noted that , the law must pass the test of logevity.
”Our law must stand the test of time;
It must pass the litmus test of international best practices;
It must be fair (whether you’re in government or in opposition);
It must protect the rights of citizens; and
It must have safeguards in place to ensure that the personality of the person who will occupy a position will find it difficult to abuse power”.
She was of the view that, ”at the same time, the framework must clearly provide for the lawful and effective role of intelligence agencies as an integral part of Ghana’s national security architecture, ensuring accountability without compromising operational effectiveness”.
