North West officials to be empowered on protecting the public from unlawful administrative decisions
Eighty officials from provincial government departments and municipalities in the North West province are to be inducted on a mainstreaming guide that protects the public from unlawful, unreasonable and procedurally unfair administrative decisions.
The two day session on the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act (PAJA) Mainstreaming Guide for Organs of State hosted by the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development commences at the Mmabatho Convention Centre on Thursday.
Under PAJA, affected persons have the right to request for reasons for administrative actions and decisions taken against them and to have such actions reviewed in court.
The launch is part of the rollout to provinces intended at providing guidance on general compliance with PAJA, introduce its mainstreaming guideline and also ensure adherence to the Promotion of Access to Information Act (PAIA).
