Product description

Introduction to the Law and Practice of Parliament in Zambia provides unique insight into the constitutional precepts and doctrines underlying, and the work and daily life of, the Zambian Parliament.

The subjects addressed include the relationship between central and local government, the administration and management of Parliament, the law-making power of Parliament, and specialised areas of parliamentary practice and procedure including the relationship between Parliament and the public, the committee system, parliamentary privilege, etiquette, and contempt of Parliament. In highlighting these specialised areas of parliamentary practice and procedure, the author blends his analysis with some key rulings of various Speakers and Presiding Officers and refers to cases decided by the courts of law. Introduction to the Law and Practice of Parliament in Zambia is essential reading for anyone who wants to know how the Zambian Parliament is structured, administered and works: politicians, civil servants, journalists, lawyers, lobbyists, diplomats, students, members of Parliament, and indeed the public at large.
