About the GPL

Oversight

Holding the Executive accountable and ensuring that government delivers on its commitments to the people of Gauteng.

Our role

Strengthening Accountability

The Gauteng Provincial Legislature holds the Executive accountable by ensuring that the Executive and all provincial departments implement legislation, policies and programmes effectively and in the best interests of the people of Gauteng.

Through committees, questions, debates and oversight visits, the GPL monitors government performance and promotes transparent, accountable and responsive governance.
