Chairperson, Madam Minister, there have, however, been reports that some individuals within the department have been engaging in activities to destroy records that reflect the attendance of workers during the strike. In the light of these reports, clearly some delays can be expected with regard to the issue of the docking of pay.
Are the Minister and the department able to give an assurance to this House that the docking of pay will not be delayed beyond the end of this year? Thank you.
