Hon Deputy Speaker, I hereby give notice that in the next sitting, I shall move on behalf of the DA:
That the House -
1) debates the President's discretionary powers for appointment to and removal from public office, noting the recommendation by the Home Affairs Portfolio Committee to appoint President Zuma's special advisor, Glen Mashinini as an IEC Commissioner and further noting the remarks by the Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke on the "remarkable concentration of the President's powers of appointment";
2) considers how best we may shield the appointments of public functionaries to institutions like the National Prosecuting Authority, NPA, and the Chapter 9 institutions from the personal preferences and vagaries of the appointing authority; and
3) refers the matter of the President's discretionary powers to the Constitutional Review Committee for further consideration.
