Meeting report

Joint Standing Committee on the Financial Management of Parliament

The Chairperson said that the draft Legacy Report was circulated to all members and therefore it would be considered page per page.  

Language and grammatical errors were checked and a few corrections were made on pages 9 and 11.

Mr C De Beer (ANC, Northern Cape) commented that if the Sixth Parliament read the report, it would not be clear to them what the Fifth Parliament had achieved or what the outcomes of its work was. They would ask themselves had been achieved. He was glad that recommendations had been made. Would these recommendations be considered?

Mr F Essack (DA, Mpumalanga) said that the report should provide a timeframe for when certain crucial matters would be considered by the Sixth Parliament.

Ms E Coleman (ANC) objected. She said that the Committee could not dictate what the Sixth Parliament would do, including imposing time frameworks to it.

The Chairperson said that the report should indicate that certain matters needed urgent attention.

Mr De Beer said that the Committee should, in the future, have alternate members.
