Chairperson, the ANC supports this Budget Vote and we believe that the appointment of the new permanent executive director for the ICD will take forward the recommendations of the Portfolio Committee on Safety and Security, and plead with the National Treasury to give more funds to the ICD in order for them to establish satellite offices in all provinces and address the issue of a shortage of staff, especially the investigators in all provinces.

We are aware, Moruti, as much as you are aware, that the department is, of course, addressing the matter with the Minister, but I agree with you. I think we need to be a little bit quicker in that regard, because it is a concern lately. Thank you very much.

Vote agreed to (African Christian Democratic Party dissenting).
