Thank you, Deputy Speaker. What you said is true, hon Ramatlakane; the Public Service Commission submitted a report which talks to quite a number of areas. It is clear that one thing we must do is take steps to deal with all those issues. If I were to come to the issue of statistics - I wish this question was based on that - I would have provided statistics.
However, the reality is that, in different departments, there are actions and cases that are being taken in terms of which public servants, who find themselves in violation of the code of conduct and who have committed acts of misconduct, are being dealt with across the three spheres and in all government departments. It is just that the question of statistics requires one to raise only those things. If the question was based on that, one would be in a position to deal decisively with that.
It is very clear, as we as government indicated, that whereas we note what we do in all sectors and all the departments, we are not complacent and we do not say it's enough to do that; hence we bring about ways of making sure that there is a co-ordinated effort in as far as the question of dealing with such acts of corruption is concerned. We have policies and strategies, but we have indicated that that is not enough. What is actually called for is action. Thank you very much.
