Parliament’s Week Ahead: President’s final appearance, and the rush towards the wrap-up By Parliamentary Monitoring Group

The end of the current Parliament is fast approaching and loose ends are gradually being knitted together. There are only a few weeks left — three weeks for the National Assembly and four for the National Council of Provinces — before lawmakers say their farewell before the 8 May elections.Question Time is one of the ways Parliament scrutinises the work of government and holds it accountable.

Elsewhere, the NCOP chamber has scheduled only one sitting to consider several bills. Delegates will spend most of the week in committee and attending provincial budget speeches in their respective provinces.It has been a long-running saga between the portfolio committee on environmental affairs and the SA Weather Services since the committee resolved in 2017 to hold the board members personally liable for R2-million in fruitless and wasteful expenditure.

The Minister of Home Affairs will appear before the oversight committee for the third consecutive week. This time, he will meet to discuss implementation of the Home Affairs national identification system, contingency plans to render services at Lindela Repatriation Centre after the voluntary liquidation of Global African Operations formerly known as Bosasa, the visa facilitation service contract and the progress made on the implementation of the e-visa system .
