Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>MPs met to discuss the financial management of the National Assembly on Tuesday, with opposition parties fuming over an alleged secret R1.8m salary increase for secretary to parliament Xolile George.<\/p>\n

Demanding answers, they claimed the salary differed from the R2,604,661 annual package that was advertised. According to the Sunday Times, George earns a whopping R4.4m. National Assembly speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula and NCOP chair Amos Masondo allegedly increased George\u2019s salary by R1.8m.<\/p>\n

Recommendations contained in the 2023\/24 First Quarter Report, 2022\/23 Annual Report, draft 2024\/25 Annual Performance Plan and 2022\/23 Annual Report of Parliamentary Budget Office were tabled in parliament.<\/p>\n

The recommendations include that vacancies be filled with speed, broadcasting of parliamentary proceedings must be accessible to all South Africans and not only on a paid TV channel, and MPs must go to communities and not only work behind computers.<\/p>\n

The restoration and reconstruction of parliament was also a hot topic, with MPs sharing passionate views about the speed of rebuilding.<\/p>\n
