In conclusion, I know this is not the Oscar Awards ceremony, but I would like to finish by thanking the following people: the President, of course, for entrusting me with the stewardship of the Public Works portfolio; the Auditor-General and the members of the parliamentary committees for their constructive criticism, even though they have been very hard on us, they have helped us; members of the SIU for arming us against corruption - we appreciate that; Treasury and the TTAU for their assistance and support in developing the turnaround strategy; the acting director-general, new as she is, who is on task, on time and knows what has to be done; and the management of the department, who have kept the ship afloat, even as we try to turn it around.
