The Joint Standing Committee on the Financial Management of Parliament has dismissed claims of governance irregularities in the rebuilding of the National Assembly, following a call by the Democratic Alliance (DA) for an urgent investigation.
The committee's statement, issued on August 1, 2026, said it had reviewed the project's management and found no evidence to support the DA's allegations. The committee urged all parties to allow the reconstruction process to proceed without unfounded interference.
The DA had raised concerns about the handling of the project, which is part of the broader restoration of Parliament after the January 2022 fire. The committee's response emphasizes transparency and adherence to proper procedures.
No further details were provided, but the committee reaffirmed its commitment to oversight and accountability in the rebuild project.
