Hon House Chairperson, on behalf of the DA I hereby give notice that at the next sitting of the Council I shall move:
That the Council -
1) notes that video conferencing facilities between Parliament and the provincial legislatures launched a year ago with great fanfare are still not being utilised;
2) further notes that whilst this system was fully funded by the European Union Donor Funding Support Programme, it has now become a parliamentary embarrassment since it is not in operation; and
3) requests Parliament to inform it as to -
a) what the problems are;
b) whether the system will eventually be utilised;
c) when will it be operational, if it is going to be utilised; and
d) if the system will be scrapped, at what cost.
