Adoption of the Committee Report on matters referred by the Speaker

The Chairperson took the members through the document, page by page.

The Chairperson then asked the Parliamentary Legal Advisor about the status or developments regarding the Powers, Privileges and Immunities of Parliament and Provincial Legislatures Amendment Bill (B18-2018) in the NCOP.

Advocate Frank Jenkins, Senior Legal Advisor, Parliament, said the Bill was with the NCOP select committee processes, but he did not know how far the NCOP has gone with the processes.

Mr M Filtane (UDM), on the request by Oakbay Investments that it be allowed to reserve its position regarding any engagement with the Committee, suggested the Committee to write to Oakbay and tell them the matter has been closed.

Mr Esau said Mr Howa left the employ of Oakbay and the CEO stated they were reserving the right but not making a decision. So, the matter was closed.

Mr Booi proposed for the acceptance of the report.

Mr Filtane seconded the proposition.

The report was adopted with no amendments.

The meeting was adjourned.
