NNEECC and Eskom must brief Parliament on planned nuclear expansion
The Democratic Alliance (DA) notes Cabinet's approval of the National Nuclear Energy Executive Co-ordination Committee (NNEECC).
This high-level committee is tasked with monitoring the planned nuclear expansion programme.
It is essential that government is completely transparent in its procurement of these power stations. This process, if it goes ahead, would be the single largest procurement of goods in South Africa's history.
It must therefore be subjected to rigorous oversight.
No deal should be signed with regard to the nuclear expansion programme without the full terms of reference and any contracts coming before parliament.
