Mr Speaker, five years ago, in 2005, we passed the Intergovernmental Relations Framework Act precisely to ensure better co- ordinated and integrated service delivery. It seems to me that five years later we are still struggling with the same thing that we have been struggling with for 16 years, namely co-ordination and integration.
Mr Speaker, would the President not agree that, if you look at all the service-delivery protests we have had since the last election, at the oversight visits of Parliament and the legislatures on the ground, and at the provinces and municipalities, co-ordination and integration is in fact still lacking? And would the President perhaps be able to offer us an explanation of why, after 16 years, such basics in governance as co- ordination and integration are still a problem? Thank you.
