Women in the Presidency Budget Review and Recommendations Report
Meeting Summary
The Committee adopted the BRRR report with the amendments of putting a time frame for things which had to be done as well as indicating that the Wage Bill report had lapsed because it was erroneous.
The recommendations of the Committee included the fact that the Committee was to have more contact with the Department of Women Affairs so as to improve their oversight role. Members said in order for this to be achieved, the Department had to alert the Committee timeously about what it was going to do and when. Members also said it was of high importance that they conducted their oversight in a proper manner because government departments needed to be held accountable for the betterment of the South African society. The Committee was satisfied with the manner in which it had started out in its new term of office and set out their recommendations in a manner in which would allow successful oversight.
