Furthermore, the slow spending was also attributed to delays in procurement processes such as the awarding of six tenders by the SITA for Integrated Justice Services Programme (IJSP) in the first six months. The 2009/10 Annual Report of the Department of Police has highlighted some of the challenges that the Department is faced with. These include the lack of control systems within the area of supply chain management, especially the management and controls of assets. The Committee is concerned about this state of affairs since the larger portion of the budget is largely dominated by current payments which accounts for R49.3 billion. Part of this figure goes to goods and services and to capital assets. To this end the Committee is of the view that urgent action needs to be taken by the Department to address these supply chain management issues.
