MPs want Finance Minister Godongwana to address Parliament’s reconstruction budget

MPs want Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana to address Parliament’s reconstruction budget when he tables his Medium-Term Budget next month.

Members want Godongwana to prioritize and give direction on the rebuilding efforts at the tabling on the 26th of October.

The joint standing committee on financial management received an update on the fire investigation and rebuilding efforts on Friday.

Parliament has been forced to continue operating virtually following the devastating fire in January.

But now MPs want Godongwana to give details on the funding of the reconstruction.

The ANC’s Bheki Radebe said the sooner MPs return the better.

The joint committee also received an assurance from the head of the hawks, Godfrey Lebeya, on the investigation into the fire.

Accused arsonist Zandile Mafe’s case is due back in the high court in November.
