The Committee expressed concern at the credibility of planning in the Department given that broadband infrastructure was a critical priority of government. Of more concern to the Committee was the recurring non-delivery on the 112 Emergency Call Centre project which had been rolled over regularly. The Committee viewed the non-attainment of performance targets such as the creation of only 150 jobs from a target of 17 322 as a major concern given that the Department was critical in government's broad development strategy. The Committee further expressed concern at the delay in the filling of vacancies, with specific reference to the senior positions such as the Chief Financial Officer.
