Call for Comment on Service Delivery
The National Assembly has established the Ad Hoc Committee on Service Delivery to conduct co-ordinated oversight on service delivery under the theme “Working together to ensure the delivery of quality service to communities". The mandate of the Committee will be to enquire into the progress with regard to service delivery and, where protests took place, what the challenges are in order to table a report to the National Assembly with clear achievable recommendations and a proposed implementation plan.
To this end, the Committee will undertake co-ordinated visits in rural and urban areas and conduct public hearings at Parliament and in the provinces. The public hearings at Parliament will take place from 2 - 4 February 2010.
During its visit to the provinces, the Committee will undertake site inspections and meet with members of the communities, Local Government officials, Provincial Government Department officials, ward committees, civil society organisations and members of the business fraternity.
