ISS: Pan-African Parliamentâs woes reflect a crisis in leadership
Written by ISSAfrica -

The PAP can only be saved if MPs truly represent African citizens and the AU gives the body power.
Chaotic scenes at the Pan-African Parliament (PAP) in Johannesburg last week have prompted a strong reaction from across the continent. African Union (AU) Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat called for PAP activities to be suspended until the issues around electing a new PAP president and bureau were settled. The incidents have exposed an institution that, except for recurrent scandals of corruption, has hitherto existed in obscurity.
Many ask whether the PAP is worth maintaining. It costs the AU around US$15 million annually and considerable sums to member states whose delegates attend the sittings twice a year. The host country, South Africa, pays for the venue of the PAPâs bi-annual sitting at the Gallagher Estate convention centre.
