Question NW1048 to the Minister of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation
14 June 2021 - NW1048
Powell, Ms EL to ask the Minister of Human Settlements, Water and Sanitation
Whether she will furnish Ms E L Powell with all responses received by her department to the (a) requests for quotation and/or (b) tender adverts for personal protective equipment ultimately awarded to certain suppliers (names and details furnished) during the period 1 March to 1 October 2020; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details in each case?
Reply:
I wish to indicate to the Honourable Member that the names of contractors or service providers involved in the provision of the services indicated in the reply have been concealed because the document titled “Guide to Parliamentary Questions in the National Assembly” prohibits Members of Parliament, including the Executive, from providing names of individuals or companies in parliamentary questions. The document referred to states that:
“Questions are to be framed as concisely as possible. All unnecessary adjectives, references and quotations are omitted. Names of persons, bodies and, for example, newspapers are only used in questions if the facts surrounding the case have been proven. As the mere mention of such names could be construed as publicity for or against them, it should be clear that this practice is highly undesirable. If a question will be unintelligible without mentioning such names, the Departments concerned are notified of the name (-s) and this phrase is used: ".......a certain person (name furnished)”.
