Many countries - throughout the world - do not afford opposition parties the opportunity to directly question the government (Prime Minister/President) on virtually any subject, every week.
We should be glad to see answers given - live on TV (often after supplementary questions) - instead of waiting for the long winded written versions which were previously published by an indifferent media.
It is not easy to lie - under this very public scrutiny, although some have managed it! Like democracy itself, it is not a perfect system - and better greatly by interrogation from Parliamentary Committees, comprised of experienced politicians.
