House Chairperson, Ministers, Deputy Ministers and the house at large. As NFP we would like to welcome and support the report on budget vote on planning, monitoring and evaluation. We are saying the allocated R956,9 million budget for the department of planning monitoring and evaluation is welcomed. Monitoring and evaluation will be achieved successfully only when the President forge ahead with his plan to signing an agreement with each minister with regards to goals that must be achieved.
The ministers within his department will then be monitored and evaluated on their work. The president promised that those who are not doing their jobs will be dealt with accordingly, therefore monitoring and evaluation departments will hold them accountable. We suggest that the President must fire those ministers that are not doing what they promise the president to do, and then we will say the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation, DPME, is functioning.
The budgets must be monitored timeously so that monies are spent according to plans presented. Whatever monies spent by departments must show the value for money. Those departments together with companies, that in?ate prices must be held responsible. The department is very important and as the NFP we hope that if the department can only uphold in promoting good planning and monitoring and evaluation practices in good government, we will only then say we support the budget. Thank you
