MP’s concerned over shortage of time for important debates

Several MP’s feel that opposition parties do not get enough time to debate important matters such as budgets in parliament. This was revealed during the debate over parliament's budget. Beeld reports that the Freedom Front Plus’s Corne Mulder complained that 120 seconds was not enough time for an opposition party to react to important aspects such as budgets in which millions of rand were involved. Mulder said parliament should be representative of everyone and consequently debates from both sides should be heard fully because the matters involved were important to members of the public. Before Mulder could add anything more, he ran out of time.
