EFF concerned about outstanding replies to questions by ministers in Parliament

# The EFF says it is concerned about Parliament’s latest report on the status of outstanding replies to questions by ministers. According to the report, 783 questions were submitted and replies were due last Thursday, however about 222 questions have no replies. During this period Police minister Senzo Mchunu did not reply to 47 of the 74 questions, while Agriculture minister John Steenhuisen only replied to six of the 17 questions he received. The EFF says It is clear then that some ministers have no regard for the oversight role Parliament plays.
