Deputy President Paul Mashatile to brief the National Assembly on his priorities as the leader of government business in the National Assembly


By The Presidency

Deputy President Paul Mashatile will respond to oral questions in the National Assembly on Thursday 23 March. This will be the first time that the Deputy President will appear before Parliament since his appointment as the Deputy President of the Republic.

Parliamentary questions are key to holding members of the executive accountable and ensuring public confidence in government by the public. The Deputy President’s first appearance in the National Assembly is also an opportunity for the public to assess the performance of the government in various delegated responsibilities that he leads. 
To this end, the Deputy President will brief the National Assembly on matters including by not limited to, the impact that the recovery of debt to Eskom by municipalities can have on the reduction of load-shedding and the role that Traditional Leaders can play in facilitating investment and economic development in rural areas. 

Further to this, the Deputy President will respond on what specific measures he will take as the Leader of Government Business in the National Assembly that members of the Executive respond timeously and adequately to parliamentary questions.
