I have a point on the role of parliamentarians, particularly those in Africa. They seem to be a missing feature when it comes to aid and development issues. We are very involved in our Parliament but when we visit African countries, we sometimes do not see the same engagement from their parliamentarians. They should have a role and should engage.
