3.1 The Money Bills Amendment Procedure and Related Matters Act (2009), provides for, amongst others, a parliamentary procedure to amend Money Bills, thus granting parliamentary committees greater opportunity to influence the allocation of funds to the departments they oversee. Section 5 compels the National Assembly, through its Committees, to annually submit budgetary review and recommendation (BRR) reports on the financial performance of departments accountable to them. Though the above-mentioned Act is silent on oversight over entities, the Committee believes that, given that the JICS receives its budget from the DCS, its performance too should be assessed during the BRR process in October each year. The Committee therefore again calls for the tabling of the JICS' Annual Report in sufficient time to allow for its consideration during the above-mentioned process.
