DA Coalition Bills gazetted for public comment; on track to stabilize coalition governments
28 March 2023
The instability we have witnessed in the various metro governments across the country and the possibility of national or provincial coalition governments has spurred the DA to table legislation in Parliament which would stabilize these governments.
We are submitting a suite of bills to prepare Parliament for the possibility of local, provincial and national coalition governments. It is critical that Parliament is proactive in creating a legislative framework that would assist with governance stability and reliable service delivery.
The first Notice of Intention to Introduce a Private Members Bill on stable coalitions was published in the Government Gazette on Friday, March 24th. While the second one was published on Monday the 27th of March.
The first two of these suite of bills are the Constitution 19th Amendment Bill, 2023 and the Local Government: Municipal Structures Amendment Bill, 2023.
