Political Analysis: Now ordinary citizens can approach Parliament directly

View descriptionShare

The National Assembly (NA/Parliament) has taken a significant step by adopting a transformational amendment to its rules and guidelines for petitions. According to the country's highest legislative body, these regulations have been introduced to foster more open, transparent and responsive legislative processes. Previously, public petitions required an MP to act as an intermediary between the House and a member of the public. This decision has been as a progressive by parliament. The questions remains on how this will work, seeing that we had the Public Protector’s office and the National Council of Provinces where citizens could be able to voice that grievances. What happens to the other institutions? Will people still be able to access them? How will the process work? To gives more some insights into this issue we’re joined by Nolu Maki, spokesperson for Dear South Africa.
