Thank you, Chairperson. Hon Minister, we appreciate it that you did clarify the matter that is being discussed at the moment in the portfolio committee today, particularly the ethics and integrity framework. We therefore believe that there has been much progress in addressing the matter of the civil servants who do business with government.
Further to that, we would like you to clarify to the House the introduction of the declaration of interests register that you announced would be rolled out from the 23rd.
