1. National Treasury highlighted that the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Commission is appointed in consultation with the Minister of Finance but this procedure was not followed. Specifically, the appointment of two members of the CGE as chief executive officers was unlawful and irregular. Expenditure incurred during the period of the appointment might constitute irregular expenditure and should be investigated by National Treasury. The National Treasury has sought legal opinion on the above matter but is not certain that the monies can be reasonably recovered. It recommended that the proper procedures are put in place to prevent this from happening in future. The expenditure should also be reported to National Treasury as irregular expenditure, with a request that the amount is regularised. 2. Also, the appointment of a consultant as CEO and accounting officer appeared to be unlawful and irregular. The relevant person was not employed as an official of the CGE at the relevant time. Again, expenditure incurred in the period of the appointment might constitute irregular expenditure and should be investigated by National Treasury pending a legal opinion on the matter.
