EFF welcomes the decision to establish a Portfolio Committee to oversee the Presidency in Parliament
24 May 2023
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) welcomes the long overdue decision by the National Assembly Speaker and the Rules Committee of Parliament, to establish a Portfolio Committee On Planning Monitoring and Evaluation whose purpose is to provide expanded accountability by the Presidency to Parliament.
The EFF has been a leading voice in calling for broader accountability by the Presidency on the work that it does, as Ramaphosa has adopted Departments under his office and created numerous task teams and envoys to address the social-ills confronting society which require funding.
As part of his efforts to centralize state functions in his office, Ramaphosa brought the State Security Agency into his office and has recently created a Ministry of Electricity which equally falls under his office.
