Hon Deputy Speaker, the report acknowledges the department's implementation of commitments outlined by the ANC manifesto on combating
crime, corruption, restoring dignity of government and job creation.
The committee agreed that the department's turnaround strategy had a positive effect and assisted to improve its audit outcome and that of its entities. As the committee we stated that there is a need to customise performance indicators for spheres of government that are benefiting from the EPWP grant. In this way, figures stated in key performance indicators in the annual performance plans of the EPWP would not lead to what hon Thring was saying here and as such, the audit evidence that the auditor general south Africa required was not in the control of the EPWP itself but in the information that has to be verified by the departments and provinces that are benefitting from EPWP.
As the committee, we also noted and welcomed what the Ministers announced that from the second quarter of the new financial year 2019-20 a key performance indicator would be added to the contracts of its senior manager that states clearly that a clean audit has to be achieved. We welcome that as the committee. We also said
that as a committee, the PSC investigation should be tabled to the committee by February 2020 and furthermore there must be investigation in the supply chain irregularities and prestige projects as highlighted by the auditor general's report.
One thing that has been highlighted by auditor general report is that some of the boards of public works and its entities are not properly constituted and that has a negative impact on the proper accountability. As the ANC we welcome and support the Budgetary Review Recommendations. [Applause.]
Motion agreed to (Economic Freedom Fighters dissenting).
Report accordingly adopted.
