Kgoshi, you are quite correct. Regarding those anomalies coming from the same unit and same officials, the new commissioner now has put some procedures in place. These procedures say that we will do a performance assessment on officials and units. If we find that, repeatedly, you are going on doing the same things and not correcting your offending behaviour, you will be disciplined. Disciplinary procedures will be put in place so that we can get you out of the system because you are not worth being kept in the system - you are not improving at all.
So those are things that I'm very happy about, and the new commissioner has made no bones about it to all the senior members. Right now, there are senior members that are complaining about that and I'm quite happy. I'm smiling because they are appealing to me and I'm saying to myself, "If only you knew that I love what the commissioner is doing." Measures to improve financial management of department
