The Department of Planning Monitoring and Evaluation did not have (a) internal or (b) external forensic investigations from the period 1 January 2009 to date. There were no cases that required forensic investigations and therefore there is no (aa) name (bb) subject matter and (cc) date of conclusion of forensic reports.
