Parliament, Tuesday, 5 December 2023 – The Select Committee on Transport, Public Service and Administration, Public Works and Infrastructure will tomorrow consider final mandates on the Economic Regulation of Transport (ERT) Bill and negotiating mandates on the Expropriation Bill.
The ERT Bill seeks to consolidate the economic regulation of transport within a single framework and policy and provides for the establishment of the Transport Economic Regulator and the Transport Economic Council, among others.
The purpose of the Expropriation Bill is to repeal the existing Expropriation Act of 1975 to provide a common framework in line with the Constitution to guide the processes and procedures for the expropriation of property by organs of state. It further seeks to provide for certain instances where expropriation with nil compensation may be appropriate in the public interest.
Details of the meeting are as follows:
