The Speaker of Parliament has appointed former President Kgalema Montlanthe to chair an advisory panel that will look at law making since 1994 in order to assess how these laws have impacted on reversing poverty, unemployment and inequality.

Congress of the people is highly contesting the decision about the panel, COPE’s spokesperson Dennis Bloem Said

 spokesperson Dennis Bloem Said “We have serious questions about the advisory panel. We want to know what powers the panel has. Who do they report to, was the parliament involved in the decision of this panel appointment, is there a budget allocated for the panel and who approved the budget.”
