The DPSA was in a process of finalising a Memorandum of Understanding to define roles of Administrators and HODs in respect of these matters. The total number of cases under investigation was reported as 262. The DPSA had set up a centralised disciplinary panel of experts to assist with chairing and initiating cases. In addition to that, the services of labour law specialists had been secured to assist the SIU and the departments with the outstanding investigations. The challenges experienced by the DPSA included non-completion of investigations by the SIU due to lack of resources; the lacuna relating to disciplinary processes i.e. the responsibility to sign the charge sheets and lack of clear roles between Administrators and HODs regarding the disciplinary matters.
