I move:
That the House -
1) appreciates the extensive work done by the Ad Hoc Committee on Review of Chapter 9 and Associated Institutions in the execution of its mandate;
2) recognises that a number of the recommendations contained in the Report will have far-reaching implications for Chapter 9 and Associated Institutions;
3) notes that the Ad Hoc Committee, among others, recommends the establishment of a properly resourced Unit to co-ordinate all interactions between the National Assembly and state institutions strengthening democracy;
4) adopts the recommendation in the Report pertaining to the establishment of the Unit on Constitutional Institutions and other Statutory Bodies;
5) urges speedy establishment of the Unit on Constitutional Institutions and other Statutory Bodies and recommends that its location, structure and mandate be determined by the Speaker, having given due consideration to the National Assembly's constitutional obligations with regard to Chapter 9 institutions, associated bodies and other statutory bodies;
6) urges further that consideration be given to the implementation of the recommendation in the Report pertaining to budgets of the bodies reviewed being contained in a separate programme in Parliament's budget vote, as envisaged by the Ad Hoc Committee; and
7) resolves that the rest of the Report be held in abeyance with a view to allowing the Fourth Parliament to consider it in a manner it deems appropriate.
Motion agreed to.
