INTERNAL QUESTION PAPER NO 1 of 2014
Mr M S F de Freitas (DA) to ask the Minister of Home Affairs:
With reference to her reply to question 3106 on 12 December 2013, has the
evaluation of conflicts been completed; if not, when will the evaluation be
completed; if so, what are the findings?
NW9E
REPLY:
The evaluation of conflict has been completed. It was found that 23
employees occupied lower level positions, such as cleaners, drivers, clerks
and immigration officers. A further seven employees were in middle
management positions across the Department. One employee is at the Senior
Management Service level. In all cases, the nature of work that they sought
permission for was deemed not to be in conflict with their duties within
the Department. Employees sought permission as they are owners or directors
of businesses and not necessarily involved in the day to day running
thereof.
