Chairperson, I move:
That the Council -
1) notes that Adv Lulama Matyolo-Dube was recently found guilty on four charges relating to financial misconduct;
2) expresses its displeasure at the fact that Adv Lulama Matyolo-Dube betrayed the trust placed in her by this House, thereby bringing the Council in particular and Parliament in general into disrepute;
3) accepts that a vacancy exists in the Office of the Secretary to the Council; and
4) agrees that until such time that a Secretary to the Council has been appointed, Adv Modibedi Eric Phindela continues to act as Secretary to the Council.
Mr Chairman ...
Are you objecting already?
No, I have a point of order, Mr Chairman. Mr Chairman, I would just like to know when notice of this motion was given, because I don't see it on the Order Paper. Should it not have been dealt with as a motion without notice?
Chairperson, I wonder whether the hon member was in the House when I first moved another motion. This was covered before the debate. Was he in the House? We must use our listening skills properly.
Question put: That the motion be agreed to.
IN FAVOUR: Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, North West, Western Cape.
Motion accordingly agreed to in accordance with section 65 of the Constitution.
