Committee meetings are planned events where real-world impactful work happens such as law-making, oversight and public participation - which are all cornerstones of the work our MPs do. Although often citizens focus on the public debate taking place in main chambers, the majority of MPs' time is spent working within committees. Here is a place to see what your committee is saying.
No appearances found
Written questions and feedback are essential tools used by MPs for oversight and hold the executive accountable. This oversight mechanism allows MPs’ to extract detailed information that would normally be difficult to comprehend through oral engagement. You can see the questions that your MPs are asking here.
What total amount has (a)(i) Eskom, (ii) the SA Airways and (iii) Transnet lost due to (aa) corruption, (bb) fraud ...
Considering that the term of the current administration is coming to an end, what total amount has (a) the SA ...
Considering that Eskom has been increasingly reliant on diesel to power its Open Cycle Gas Turbines to plug the electricity ...
Plenary sessions are forums that have been created for the purpose of public debate and decision-making. This mechanism is used to convey the messages of our MPs within main chambers on important decisions, like how they vote.
The nice thing is that she sits next to honourable ... [Inaudible.]
Deputy Chairperson, no, with due respect, I miss hon Motara so much. I confuse her. Is she from the Free State or Gauteng?
