  • Die Minister Vir Staatsdiens En Administrasie 5 Sep 2007 hansard

    Baie dankie, Mev die ... Madam Speaker. Ek wil graag s aan hon [agb] Minnie dat soos ek dit uitgestel het - agb Minnie; baie dankie, agb Jordan - dat hierdie verslag voor die Parlement gaan kom en ek het ges ek wil nie juis dit bespreek op hierdie stadium nie. Laat ons wag vir daardie verslag en dit vooruit vat. In terme van die rol van die Public Service [Openbare Dienste] Kommissie: ek dink hulle weet beslis wat hulle rol is en het al reeds - (Translation of Afrikaans paragraphs follows.)

    [Mr K J MINNIE: Thank you, Madam Speaker. Hon Minister, the DA agrees that better co-ordination is needed to ensure more effective service delivery. We agree with that.

    The DA, however, does not agree that portfolio committees should oversee the work of other portfolio committees, and I believe that it will be mentioned in the report. We are looking forward to the report and we will definitely give attention to it.

    I would really like to point out that at the moment portfolio committees are not even managing to perform their own oversight functions. Hon Minister, the solution lies in setting service delivery targets for Ministers and departments, and when they fail to meet these targets the guilty parties should be replaced.

    My question to you, hon Minister, is: what is the government doing to meet service delivery targets? And, is the hon Minister willing to request that the Public Service Commission undertake an in-depth investigation and publish a report in this regard? I thank you.
