I agree fully that preventative measures must be taken to avoid all this, I think you called it malfeasance, whatever that means, it is a big word. But, the first lines of defence are the political organisations which governs the councils ... [Interjections.] Oh! Sorry.
Chairperson, the first line of defence in this situations are the political parties that governs the councils which then are in a position to provide the political leadership at the council. Then the council, once properly constituted, has a responsibility to implement its work programme in a manner that supports the development objectives of our country.
Now, sometimes the council sits and passes a resolution to remove a very competent municipal manager who refuses to be involved in corrupt and by so doing, removing a competent person from office.
So, I put back the responsibility, not the National Treasury, but the political parties in charge of the municipalities. And the rest are administrative and technical issues that we can deal with. Thank you.
