Deputy Speaker, Minister, the Tender Default Register was empty for a long time and it has only recently featured the names of some of those who have defrauded the state.
As you mentioned, it is only after the court orders it necessary, that a name is placed on the register. Are you considering an amendment to the Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act, to require automatic entry to the register in the event of a tender default? If so, please provide relevant details. If not, why not? Thank you.
