Parliament, Monday 7 May 2018 - President Cyril Ramaphosa will appear before the National Assembly tomorrow for his second oral question and answer session since Parliament elected him as President of the Republic of South Africa in February. His first oral questions session, as President, was on 14 March.
Holding regular question and answer sessions is one way in which Parliament holds the President and the Executive to account. The President's oral questions and answer session is the only item on Tuesday’s National Assembly plenary sitting agenda.
Questions for oral reply to the President are scheduled for a question day at least once a quarter during session time within Parliament’s annual programme. Up to six questions about matters of national or international importance may be asked during the three-hour session. The three hours allotted cover the main questions and associated supplementary questions.
The six questions scheduled for tomorrow’s plenary sitting cover a range of matters, including President Ramaphosa’s appointment in April of four Special Envoys on Investment and the government’s Investment Conference scheduled for September 2018, reduction of barriers to small businesses and whether he will establish a commission of inquiry into alleged serious dysfunction, malfeasance, corruption and gross abuse of state resources in the Crime Intelligence Division of the South African Police Service and the State Security Agency.
