Calls for Parliamentary Reforms and Opposition Engagement

A commentary calls for reforms within the Ethiopian Parliament, specifically regarding the vetting process for nominees and media accessibility. It argues that MPs must be provided with nominees' profiles and given adequate time to evaluate them effectively. The text also advocates for opening parliamentary sessions to all registered media outlets, citing restricted access under the previous Speaker. Ultimately, the analysis suggests that the effectiveness of the Parliament depends not just on the number of opposition seats, but on the active and meaningful participation of opposition members in their legislative duties.
