Deputy Chairperson, no! The Department of Defence only paid for the aircraft to transport the Deputy President on the trip in question. A Subsistence and Travel allowance is issued by the President. Whenever we issue or give an aircraft to members of the Executive or to the Presidency, we only provide them with the aircraft. We don't pay their Subsistence and Travel allowance and we don't pay for any other additional expenses.
The answer to paragraph 2 is no. The R463,4 million is not a case of human error but of two financial systems in the Department of Defence that are not integrated. As a result, the Auditor-General cannot trace the transactions back to the source documents. The answer to paragraph 3 is that the Department of Defence is currently in the process of finding a solution to the problem by combining the information of the two systems in an information management centre. As a result, the Department of Defence has developed plans to implement the integrated financial management system which should be in line with the National Treasury's expectations. I thank you.
