Speaker, Mr President, we applaud your ad hoc visits to these areas; we think it is a very good thing and you should keep it up. I'm very pleased to hear that you are fully aware that the lack of co-ordination between the different spheres is partially, in many instances, largely responsible for service delivery failures.
In your response you indicated that you have a Presidential Infrastructure Co-ordinating Commission that is doing some good work and you also mentioned stronger oversight over the line-function departments. However, I wonder whether that is actually sufficient and whether government should not be doing more to ensure co-ordination on the ground.
Secondly, Mr President, can you give us an indication of specific examples of where this closer co-ordination is actually working. Could you give us concrete examples of where interventions of that nature have led to improved service delivery? Thank you.
