Parliament: No more than a rubber stamp (Dr. Ghany, April 2006) 

Dr. Ghany says in 2006 that "One of these is the greater enforcement of the separation of powers to remove the overlap between the Executive (Cabinet) and the Legislature (Parliament).The Westminster traditions of Cabinet, being able to dominate the Parliament, have been overdone in our democratic process.By allowing the Cabinet the right to determine when Parliament should or should not sit, and allowing the prime minister the right to dissolve Parliament has rendered Parliament nothing more than a rubber stamp in our environment."
