Parliament grills Nzenza over NSSA audit

LABOUR minister Sekai Nzenza yesterday came under fire from opposition MPs for taking an audit report for the National Social Security Authority (NSSA) to her lawyers before presenting it to Parliament as required by law.

Norton MP Temba Mliswa (independent) fired the first salvo, saying: “In terms of sections 298, 299, 300 and 309 (3) of the Constitution, which talk about the Auditor-General’s role, when an audit report comes out, it should be tabled before Parliament, but the minister decided to first report to her lawyers and not to bring the report before Parliament,” Mliswa said.

Nzenza said the forensic audit identified four areas which are being deliberated on by the board and lawyers who will then give her advice before the report is tabled before Parliament.
