MPs want to grill Motsoaledi on UAE president's landing in E Cape: The portfolio committee on home affairs, which has resolved to hold a special sitting on the matter, will also question Dr Mike Seapato, the commissioner of the Border Management Authority.
“The resolution forms part of parliament’s constitutional obligation to hold the executive accountable, as well as the need to ensure that domestic and international law is applied,” said committee chair Mosa Chabane.
He said the committee would apply to the house chairperson responsible for committees to hold the session Friday. If the application is unsuccessful, the meeting would be held next week Tuesday. During the portfolio committee's meeting held on Tuesday, Patriotic Alliance MP Christopher Roos said: “There are some questions that need to be answered… we will first see what comes out before we jump into conclusions.”
“I think this briefing you’ve proposed is an important one. However… there is a lot of issues pertaining to our portfolio committee that end up playing themselves in the media and we as MPs, we sort of are being subjected to the same treatment as other members of the public and we seem to be getting information from the social media and we see press conferences by the department,” she said.
