[Mr H PAPO (Gauteng): Hon Chairperson of the National Council of Provinces, hon Mninwa Mahlangu; Deputy Chairperson of the National Council of Provinces, hon Memela; the Chief Whip of the National Council of Provinces, hon Ntwanambi; Deputy Minister of Finance, hon Nene; the Chairperson of the Select Committee on Finance, hon De Beer; the Chairperson of the Select Committee on Appropriations, hon Chaane, Ministers, representatives of premiers of the different provinces in South Africa, members of the National Council of Provinces, and members of provincial legislatures in South Africa, efficient and effective use of public finance is one of the principles of democratic government. We are glad as members of the Gauteng Legislature that we are taking part in the debate on the Division of Revenue Bill 2010-2011.
Even though we indicated a few challenges and also gave our opinions on the Bill, we support this Bill as members of the Gauteng legislature. We appreciate the allocation of more than R58 billion for our province.]
We also welcome the review under way of the equitable share formula. For the review process to be expedited, it is important for the Select Committees on Appropriations and Finance, respectively, to work closely and co-ordinate with finance portfolio committees of provincial legislatures.
We say this because reports of the Select Committees on Finance and Appropriations and decisions of this House on matters of the division of revenue have a direct impact on the work which is supposed to happen in the provinces and in the municipalities. Therefore, it is important that there is closer co-ordination between the two select committees and the provincial portfolio committees. I thank you. [Applause]
