Chairperson, I agree with you. You must remember that I once presided over this committee and this issue has always been a challenge, especially when it comes to police stations in the rural areas. However, in addressing the specific concern you have, the SAPS is in the process of reviewing the process of how police stations should be determined.
We agree with you that we must not allow a specific provincial commissioner to decide that station number so and so is number two on his or her priority list and then, when the new provincial commissioner takes over after three years, that commissioner decides that the very same station becomes priority number 29. We are therefore addressing that challenge, hon Van Wyk. I promise you that in a few months we will have a concrete list on how to deal with outstanding police stations, especially those in rural communities.
