The 24th episode of the “Government Page” TV show featured an important discussion on strengthening institutional cooperation between the Government and the National Parliament to promote more transparent, accountable, and effective governance in Timor-Leste.
This episode featured Adérito Hugo da Costa, the Vice Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, who shared his perspectives on his role in strengthening coordination between the executive branch and the National Parliament. The interview addressed priority issues, including the legislative agenda, public transparency, institutional reforms, Timor-Leste’s commitments following its accession to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the Association of Southeast Asia (ASEAN), and the Government’s efforts to strengthen public administration and promote citizen participation.
The interview also explored how the Vice Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, with support from the Office of Parliamentary Affairs—a specialised technical unit within the Office of the President of the Council of Ministers—ensures coordination between the executive branch and the National Parliament. The Vice Minister further explained how parliamentary activities unfold throughout the week, ranging from plenary sessions and the work of specialised committees to outreach to constituents, including visits to municipalities. He also highlighted the Office’s role in coordinating legislative initiatives, monitoring the law-making process, and supporting members of the Government during parliamentary hearings.
