Point of order. [Interjections.]
What's the point of order?
My humble apologies, Minister. Deputy Speaker, there's someone taking a video from the ANC benches there. [Interjections.] ... with a flashlight taking a video and pictures there.
No. Hon member, if you are doing that you are out of order and you know it. [Interjections.]
It is a member in blue there, in the second row from the back.
The Whips will attend to that. We want to know who that is please, so that we act on it. Hon Minister, please proceed.
I was interested in the mention of the colour blue. [Laughter.] Anyway, earlier this month, Cabinet approved that over 14 000 hectares of land will be released for human settlements development. The National Treasury has reviewed the procurement framework and has developed a Public Procurement Bill which will be considered by Cabinet very soon. The very simple issue about procurement in the government system is that we pay higher prices when we should not be. Therefore, we have to attend to this, Mr President. It struggles from this notion of three quotes and then you appoint the lowest quote. It applies to all kinds of bureaucratic mismatches which lead to us losing a lot of time and a lot of money. So we are reviewing all of this. I have listened carefully to colleagues who have made inputs about the rigidities in the Public Finance Management Act, but also listened carefully to the SA Local Government Association, Salga, about the impact of the Municipal Finance Management Act. I have listened carefully to that and we are going to be reviewing it. We are going to ask an independent judge to look at all these laws and see what to do with them. It's likely to be Judge Davis.
