The Freedom Front Plus and the Inkatha Freedom Party have tabled today, 123 amendments to Protection of State Information Bill. This Bill has been referred by the Committee to the National Assembly and cannot return to the Committee for further deliberation unless there are proposed amendments to it.
The IFP and the FF+ strongly believe that the debate on the controversial Bill is everything but finalised and must continue until national consensus is reached.
Moreover, the IFP has also raised with the Speaker the that the Bill is out of order on account of it dealing with provincial archives which is a matter on which Provinces have exclusive legislative competence, which means that the Bill has been tagged erroneously and is beyond the legislative competence of Parliament.
