951. THE MINISTER OF WATER AND ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS ANSWERS:
(1) No. The certain person mentioned was not involved at all in the
process relating to the awarding of the Performance Review contract.
He was therefore not part of the evaluation or the decision-making
process and therefore not required to recuse himself.
(2) The Marine and Coastal Management (MCM) officials are appointed to
the Bid Committee by the Director-General.
(3) The contract was signed by the Acting Deputy Director-General.
