<\/a><\/p>\nThe ANC has the most members in Parliament with 249 seats, followed by the DA with 89 members and the EFF with 31.<\/p>\n
The 3,469 questions asked by the DA\u2019s 89 members translates to an average of 40 questions per DA MP and an average of 100 questions per opportunity.<\/p>\n
Contrastingly, the ANC’s submissions averaged just over one per opportunity.<\/p>\n
According to the DA, every single one of its MPs submitted written questions over the course of the year, while all of the ANC’s questions came from 16 of its 249 members.<\/p>\n
Of the party’s submitted questions, 10.1% (349) remain unanswered, most of which are sitting with the Department of Cooperative Governance & Traditional Affairs.<\/p>\n
In its report, the DA criticised the EFF’s disruptive behaviour in parliament over the course of the year, as well as President Jacob Zuma’s apparent disregard for answering and debating topics of national importance.<\/p>\n
“The President still seems content meeting the mere minimum attendance quota (once per term) when it comes to oral question sessions.”<\/p>\n
“Considering the numerous matters within his purview and the limited opportunities the opposition has to interrogate his performance, the President\u2019s current attendance record is simply unacceptable,” the DA said.<\/p>\n
Forty-five bills were introduced in Parliament this year and of those bills, eight were signed into law while another 12 bills are awaiting approval by president Zuma.<\/p>\n
