The Committee held its first meeting today to consider the programme for
2024/25 financial years.
The Programming Committee is a very important component of the Legislature in
that it is responsible for drawing up the programme for the 7th Provincial
Legislature. The essence of the programme is to ensure efficiency and productivity.
It takes into consideration the priorities of the Legislature and cast them into clear
outline of schedules that covers the work of Rules and Orders Committee, Portfolio
Committees, Household Committees, and many other activities. The Programming
Committee will also consider then National Programme adopted by the National
Assembly and National Council of Provinces.
Without the fully functioning programming committee, the Legislature oversight
function will be negatively affected, and measures put in place to ensure
accountability will not be implemented.
