Some of the matters that were highlighted from the members of the national and provincial legislatures included: . Internal challenges of Parliament, such as reports not being timeously distributed to Members of Parliament. . Tracking and monitoring the implementation of Parliamentary resolutions by the Executive remained a challenge. . Parliament did not process the reports that are received from Chapter nine and ten institutions efficiently and effectively. . Oversight in provinces is done on an ad hoc basis. . Municipalities are the closest level of government to the people, but are not included in discussions about oversight by the National and Provincial legislatures. . It was unclear what the impact of Parliamentary oversight was on executive action. . Resources allocated to committees for oversight should be reviewed. It would not serve Parliament's purpose of strengthening oversight, if resource allocation does not match the aims of Parliament. . Members of Parliament should interrogate the reports submitted to Parliament by the Executive. It was not expected that the Executive would report their shortcomings openly and freely. . Duplication of Oversight was an important matter to consider, in light of the separation of powers amongst the spheres of government. The concern strengthened the need for collaboration across the three spheres of government, on common areas of interest, such as public administration. . Recommendations made by the PSC are based on legal obligations that the executive have under current legislation. . The PSC reports to national and provincial legislatures, yet section 195 is applicable to all three spheres of government. The PSC reporting should also begin to focus on the implementation of Section 195 of the Constitution by the local sphere of government. A mechanism that the PSC is to report to for local government sphere should be considered. . Provincial Public Service Commissioners could be called by the Provincial Legislatures. . The skills shortage challenge in South Africa also manifests itself in the legislatures. . It was highlighted that Parliament should also seek to establish its own monitoring and evaluation capacity.
