Parliamentary portfolio committees in South Africa have been allocated R3 million to improve planning and resourcing. Speaking at the National Assembly, Thoko Didiza, said the funding will ensure committees are adequately resourced and have annual insights for better planning. This will further aid Parliament in increasing research and language capacity to address concerns raised by Members of Parliament last year. Additional researchers and practitioners will be appointed to ensure adequate capacity in all sittings of the National Assembly and Council of Provinces.
