House Chairperson, the ANC rises in support of Budget Vote No 1: The Presidency. The budget contains the key elements to implement the vision and programme of action of this government.
Upon assuming the high office of President of the Republic, President Zuma committed the government to working tirelessly towards fundamental change in the lives of all South Africans, especially the poorest of the poor.
The levels of interaction with ordinary people and key stakeholders in society have become one of the salient features of the Presidency. The bulk of the money, which totals R465,1 million, is targeting executive co- ordination that includes policy co-ordination, the Cabinet office and the National Youth Development Agency. As the ANC, we encourage the Presidency to continue on this path.
We are really disappointed to learn that the only motivation of the DA to challenge this budget is because there is no monitoring mechanism. This is despite the fact that the DA has submitted names for the constitution of a task team to do that. [Interjections.] So, in short, it means you have no viable motivation for what you are doing. [Interjections.]
With regard to Cope, Cope is a chicken without a head. [Interjections.] How can we listen to a chicken without a head; it will mislead us. [Interjections.] [Time expired.]
Division demanded.
