Most SADC countries have such lacunae in their public financial management systems in one form or another.” “Closely related to the challenge of inadequate parliamentary control on public debt is the fact that in many SADC countries, there is no cap on the value of public contracts that can be entered into by the executive without parliamentary approval,” she said, adding that while it is legitimate for the executive to contract debt, the issue is how debt binds successive governments, often for 20 to 30 years ahead.
