‘Suriname’s parliament is insufficiently critical and not independent; “Partisan interests prevail.”

“Suriname’s parliament is not fully independent, because parliamentarians from coalition parties still act as an extension of the government. Parliament is not critical enough and party interests prevail.

This is evident among other things in the message:The democratic constitutional state in Suriname: development in the period 1975-2020“By Bharti Girjasinghe I received my PhD last month from the Erasmus School of Social and Behavioral Sciences.

The research shows that Suriname, in theory, has all the institutions that belong to a democracy, including a constitution, a parliament, an independent electoral office, a constitutional court, an independent judiciary and an audit office.

“However, in practice, you notice that some important institutes are not yet in sufficient shape. That is why my recommendation is that those institutions should be strengthened. thus Girjasinghe died in May 2023 specific He became Head of Public Debt and Treasury Department at the Public Treasury Agency of the Dutch Ministry of Finance.

Another recommendation from the research is that the awareness that you as a parliamentarian are serving the national interest should be better ingrained.
