An ad-hoc Committee will be established to consider the report of the Public Protector, Advocate Thuli Madonsela, on the investigation into allegations of maladministration and corruption in the procurement of premises to accommodate the head office of the Electoral Commission.
As is the case with other Committees of the National Assembly (NA), the ad-hoc Committee will comprise proportional representation from political parties represented in the House.
This means there will be seven Members from the African National Congress, two from the Democratic Alliance, one from the Congress of the People, one from the Inkatha Freedom Party and one from smaller parties represented in the NA.
Parties are expected to provide the names of their Members who will serve on the ad-hoc Committee early next week.
The establishment of the ad-hoc Committee will be tabled in the NA next week, together with a time frame for it to complete its work and to report to the NA and recommend a course of action.
Parliament received and tabled the report from the Public Protector on 28 August.
