Speaker, the need to achieve clean audits and effective service delivery are discussed constantly within national government and also with Premiers in the Presidential Co-ordinating Council. All nine Premiers share this determination.
The targets for clean audits in provincial departments also form part of the draft delivery agreement and the performance contracts with the Minister for Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs. In these targets, the MECs for the various departments are the delivery partners and therefore their own performance contracts will include the same targets for clean audits, and it will be expected of them to report on and account for their specific performances. I thank you.
