House chairperson responsible for committees, oversight and ICT Cedric Frolick announced on Thursday that a presentation was made in the chief whips’ forum on Wednesday on the envisaged process. “It is paramount that the house decides soon on what must be done and the process to be followed,” Frolick told the National Assembly programme committee on Thursday.
“It is also urgent, because the committee will have to be established after the house agrees to it, must elect a chairperson, look at the programme and the advert that must go out, and that takes time. [Then] the applications [will have to be gone through], with shortlisting, the vetting process and interviews [taking place thereafter].
