3. AMENDMENT OF ACTS
3.1 INTERNAL AUDIT ACT REPEAL ACT 2017
At yesterday’s sitting, the Internal Audit Act Repeal Bill
was debated and passed. The bill reflect the short title as
Internal Audit Act Repeal Act, 2016 instead of 2017 and
was read as such into the record.
The Chairperson of the Finance Portfolio Committee
subsequently wrote to the Speaker in terms of Rule 231
which allows for the Speaker to approve the correction of
an error after a bill has been passed but before it is sent to
the Premier for assent.
The correction does not affect the meaning nor the
intention of the bill as passed and I have approved the
implementation of the requested correction.
The correct title of the Act is therefore reading as
“KwaZulu-Natal Internal Audit Act Repeal Act, 2017.”
