Question NW1747 to the Minister of Transport
26 May 2015 - NW1747
Hunsinger, Mr CH to ask the Minister of Transport
Will she make the Road Accident Fund Board meeting minutes for the (a) 2011-12, (b) 2012-13 and (c) 2013-14 financial years available? NW1965E
Reply:
The (a) (b) (c) minutes of the Road Accident Fund Board are "records" as defined in the Promotion of Access to Information Act, No. 2 of 2000 (PAIA), which Act regulates access to records of both public and private bodies. PAIA requires that a request for access to records must be made to the information officer of the public body concerned, in the present instance the Road Accident Fund.
Consequently, neither the Minister nor the Department of Transport are in a position to make the minutes of the Road Accident Fund Board available.
