ANTI-CORRUPTION COMMISSION: DA CALLS FOR INPUT ON PROPOSED NEW BILL
- 19 April 2024
- Parliament
- SA Legal Academy
The DA’s Glynnis Breytenbach has gazetted a notice announcing her intention to draft and table a Constitution 21st Amendment Bill, which will seek to establish an independent anti-corruption commission as a Chapter 9 institution accountable to Parliament and ‘free of executive control’. With that in mind, the notice calls for input by 19 May 2024 on what is envisaged – also serving as the proposed new Bill’s procedurally required pre-tabling explanatory summary.
According to the notice, the Constitution 21st Amendment Bill ‘will set out the functions, composition, membership, and tenure of the Anti-Corruption Commission and determine its relationship to the National Prosecution Authority’. This is noting:
- the importance of providing for measures to ‘prevent abuse of power’
- the need for a ‘well-resourced and specialised corruption fighting body that enjoys secure tenure of office’, and
- the overarching objective of ‘supporting and strengthening constitutional democracy in … South Africa by investigating and prosecuting serious corruption and high-level organised crime’.
