Government's intentions regarding introduction of Executive Members' Ethics Amendment Bill
3. Mrs J D Kilian (Cope) asked the Deputy President:
With reference to his reply to question 11 on 21 August 2013 informing the National Assembly that final adjustments to the draft Executive Members' Ethics Amendment Bill were to be finalised by the relevant Cabinet Committee in September 2013 before it will be introduced in the National Assembly soon thereafter, can he inform the National Assembly (a) why this has not happened and (b) whether the Government intends to implement the recommendations of the Public Protector in view of her finding that the Act lacked punitive measures to be applied to members of the executive who transgressed the Executive Ethics Code?
