It is heartbreaking to witness what this once-proud institution has been reduced to. The house from which history was made when FW de Klerk announced the end of apartheid, the house from which Nelson Mandela outlined a new vision, is now burnt to ashes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reconstruction of parliament<\/p>\n<p>In addition to prioritising the physical reconstruction of parliament, the DA announced a plan it believes can make parliament work again for the people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will do this by creating a committee to oversee the presidency, increasing the frequency of presidential questions, and introducing penalties when members of the executive fail to answer questions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This would be based on the model used in the Western Cape legislature, which reintroduces interpellations \u2014 snap debates that force ministers to account.<\/p>\n<p>To demonstrate their seriousness about oversight and accountability, Steenhuisen announced they plan to empower opposition MPs to serve as committee chairs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithin the first 100 days, the DA will give expression to the recommendations of the state capture commission. We will also table legislation to rapidly increase private electricity generation and transmission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steenhuisen said it was important to reflect that a failing state that cannot fix potholes is never going to end load-shedding \u2014 motivating for a push to embrace privatisation, especially concerning electricity.<\/p>\n<p>Anti-cadre deployment bill<\/p>\n<p>Steenhuisen\u2019s blueprint plan included the abolishment of cadre deployment by introducing legislation that outlaws it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy expanding on our end cadre deployment bill, we will make it a criminal offence for any politician to interfere in appointment processes, and remove powers of appointment, promotion and dismissal from politicians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead, the DA will reform the public service commission to become an independent custodian of the public sector, with a mandate to ensure that all appointments are based strictly on merit and skill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steenhuisen announced crime as a priority area, through the introduction of a Scorpions 2.0 through a constitutional amendment, which he deems will create an independent anti-crime and anti-corruption institution in chapter 9 of the constitution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will introduce a devolution bill to devolve policing powers to competent provincial and local governments. This will not only bring policing closer to the people. As the DA has already demonstrated with our LEAP project in the Western Cape, devolved local policing will also reduce violent crime by empowering well-run local governments to hire skilled, competent and properly trained and equipped officers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Economic restructuring<\/p>\n<p>Last, the DA envisions an overhaul of the budget to reflect its new priorities and restructure the economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnlike the ANC, we understand that social development is intricately linked to economic growth. Our first budget will contain no tax increases, no bracket creep, and will start to reduce the unaffordable wage and debt bills that suffocate the economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also want to make it clear that the DA will bury the ANC\u2019s job-killing policies that come straight out of the socialist playbook, including expropriation without compensation, the nationalisation of mines, farms, industry and the Reserve Bank, as well as the madness of the NHI [National Health Insurance].\u201d<\/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.
