Chairperson, the MF strives to uphold the national Constitution that carries the purported values and dignity of the South African people. Parliament has been empowered by this Constitution of the people and it is our prerogative to undertake our duties in the most suitable manner that the Constitution instructs us to do.
One of our many functions is that we are to hold the executive accountable by regular oversight visits. I am pleased at the introduction of this oversight model that clearly heightens Parliament's oversight function and allows us to fulfil our duties within a democratic environment.
The MF further feels that it is crucial that in all these visits, representation by all the parties concerned need to be made, especially in the view of the constituency concerned.
We need to remain accountable and answerable to the people at all times. The MF feels that the model ensures this. The MF supports the oversight and accountability model. Thank you.
