Supra dodges question session
12 October 2016
North West Premier, Supra Mahumapelo has failed to answer any oral questions in the Provincial Legislature for the past five months. He has not been available for such sessions since May this year.
He has dodged his responsibilities and Constitutional duties long enough and must realise oral questions are a vital component of ensuring accountability and oversight of the Executive Committee.
On 2 September the Premier was scheduled for a question and answer session but failed to attend or to lodge an apology for his absence. Another meeting was scheduled for 22 September and again the Premier failed to attend.
We have given the Premier ample time to prepare and respond to our questions. We have obliged to rules and met all requirements as stipulated by law and we expect the same from him.
