August 2014 The Democratic Alliance has raised its concern regarding the Parliamentary Select Committee on Petitions and Executive Undertakings.
The DA said the committee
has not sat since the start of the 5th Parliament and that it has a
backlog of about 60 petitions.
DA MP of in the NCOP George
Michalakis said the DA has
written to the chairperson of the Select Committee, requesting him to schedule
an urgent meeting for this week, to discuss the committee program and to
receive a briefing on petitions referred to the committee. No reply to
this letter has yet been received.
“The ANC within the NCOP continues to obstruct a vital channel through
which the Executive can, and should, be held accountable to Parliament and the
people Michalakis added.
