The Democratic Alliance today said
that the Minister of Communications Dina Pula has not answered a single
parliamentary question this year.

Marian Shinn said Minister Pula repeatedly demonstrated her incompetence as a
cabinet Minster and her clear aversion of parliamentary oversight is further
reason for President Zuma to fire her.
Shinn explains that The DA will
write to the Speaker of the National Assembly, Max Sisulu, and the Leader of
Government Business, Kgalema Motlanthe, to request that they intervene to
ensure that Minister Pule fulfils this key responsibility.
Shinn added that not a single one of
the 29 questions posed to Minister Pule by the DA and 11 by other opposition
parties have been answered.
“It is clear that Minister Pule is
trying to hide information from Parliament. This is unacceptable and an affront
to Parliament’s constitutionally enshrined mandate to hold the executive to
account,” said Shinn.
Furthermore she added that this is
the latest blunder by a Minister who is clearly out of her depths. South
