"The National Assembly does not merely vote on laws but cares about the interests of the population," said Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko. Since the end of the mandate of Anosikely representatives, their counterparts from Tsimbazaza have effectively exercised full legislative authority. Increased revenues Strengthened by their position, the deputies did not simply vote on the 2026 Amended Finance Bill (PLFR), but redirected the government, particularly the Ministry of Finance and Economy, which reasons primarily in terms of budgetary and financial balance, even though the Finance Minister acknowledged increased spending. For their part, members of the National Assembly introduced amendments aimed at increasing state revenues to boost the budget allocated to drinking water supply; to strengthen Jirama and the energy sector, to reduce power cuts; to road infrastructure. And last but not least, education, to improve teaching quality. All this while respecting—literally and figuratively—Article 92 of the Constitution which states that "Any amendment to the budget proposal resulting in increased expenditure or decreased public resources must be accompanied by a proposal for equivalent revenue increase or savings." People's interests In short, the budget allocated to priority sectors with direct impact on the population has been increased by the lower chamber representatives. "When the Executive works in concert with deputies, it is possible to increase revenues and allocate them directly to the needs of the population," noted National Assembly President Siteny Randrianasoloniaiko. Adding that "the National Assembly does not merely vote on laws but cares about the interests of the people." Moreover, since Parliament became unicameral, the lower chamber has firm control over legislative power.
