The reality is that roughly R1 billion and six years have been spent on this commission, yet little action will be taken,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Gwaruve said Parliament must affirm its role as an independent arm of state that is constitutionally obliged to hold government to account.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpeaker of the National Assembly Nosiviwe Mapisa Nqakula has effectively abdicated Parliament\u2019s responsibility to this process and stated that the institution should wait for the president to table his implementation report. This is despite the fact that Parliament did not need to wait for the president before undertaking a review on its oversight mechanisms,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Gwarube said they would be writing to Mapisa-Nqakula to place the matter on the National Assembly programming committee on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>In the same meeting in May, Gwarube asked for Parliament to start work on the parts of the report that pertained to it, as the fourth part also raised Parliament&#8217;s role during the capture of Eskom.<\/p>\n<p>She was stonewalled by high-ranking ANC MPs, including Mapisa-Nqakula, who insisted Parliament should only deal with the report after Ramaphosa tabled it and his implementation plan.<\/p>\n<p>Parliament\u2019s spokesperson Moloto Mothapo said the legislature\u2019s presiding officers have already referred certain matters requiring direct action by Parliament to parliamentary structures for processing.<\/p>\n<p>This is in addition to working on proper mechanism that will address the issues raised by the report of the commission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the submission of the implementation plan by the president yesterday, which outlines how the executive will fulfil the remedial actions recommended by the commission, Parliament will begin a process of scrutinising the details of the plan as well as overseeing, through its oversight instruments, its implementation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The implementation plan will be brought to the attention of the Members of Parliament,\u201d Mothapo said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParliament is committed to ensuring that it goes through the report with a fine-tooth comb and puts in place the necessary mechanisms required to address the deficiencies identified by the commission,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Freedom Front Plus leader Pieter Groenewald said Ramaphosa went so far as saying that he alone had the final say on whether any of the recommendations in the Zondo report would be executed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe added that any decisions regarding action to be taken against a member of the executive authority rests with Parliament, which means that all members of Cabinet will still enjoy the full protection of the ANC. The president took no decision nor did he announce any steps that will make any state capturer lose any sleep. It is extremely disappointing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-africa\">South-Africa<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Africa.
