Deputy Speaker, in terms of this Bill a lot of consultation has been done, in fact, there was overconsultation. The department had public hearings, the NCOP also had public hearings and even the National Assembly had public hearings. Therefore, there was overconsultation in terms of this Bill and so the issue that we ridicule the situation with cannot count. We must all agree in this House that through this Bill on the public administration management our country is on the right path for progressive change and innovation in the Public Service. There is no doubt that the citizens of our country will reap the fruits of the Public Administration Bill after it becomes an act. However, the impact of this Bill, when it is passed, will then be determined through mainly the oversight mandate of this Parliament across all committees. The portfolio committee will therefore work with the Ministry in ensuring that the legislation we are working on today is realised.
It is important to always know that our intentions through the work of this Parliament are meant to liberate our people from apartheid colonialism to a just egalitarian society based on social security and equal justice for all. We will be moving forward with our people in terms of the realisation of this critical piece of legislation. Thank you.
