the National Assembly shall appoint the persons to hold the office of Minister. A person holding the post of Minister is accountable to the President for his or her Ministry’s administration and collectively responsible for the Cabinet decisions. The Minister may be removed from office by either the President or by a two-third vote of censure from the National Assembly. The Attorney-General is appointed by the President from candidates proposed by the Constitutional Appointments Authority, for a period of seven years. He is the principal legal adviser to the Government and is ultimately responsible in the determination of the criminal proceedings. In the exercise of his functions the Attorney-General is not subject to the direction or control of any other person or authority. • The Legislative Power The legislative power is vested in the National Assembly independent of the Executive and accountable to the electorates (Chapter VIII). The Assembly shall exercise full legislative power, including ultimate oversight of Executive action. Where the President deems that a Bill infringes the Constitution, he may refer the Bill to the Constitutional Court for a decision. The National Assembly is open to public access and media coverage. Equal airtime (media) is guaranteed during Key addresses and electioneering. The electoral system for the National Assembly combines the majority and the proportional methods. Deputies will be partially directly elected by public secret ballot and partially appointed on a proportional representation basis. The Constitution makes provision for an Electoral Commissioner, mandated to oversee the conduct of free and fair elections, maintain electoral roles and supervise election conduct.
