The Committee is alarmed by the Department's poor financial planning as it noted during the hearing. The hearing revealed that the Department had budgeted R 297 million for payment of overtime work but ended up paying R1.2 billion to balance its overtime bill. Therefore, the Committee recommends that the Accounting Officer ensures proper financial planning to avoid such occurrences. The Committee is of the view that there was value-for-money for the Department when it was utilising the services of the Special Investigative Unit (SIU) in rooting out corruption in the Department. Therefore, the Committee recommends that the services of the SIU be continuously utilised by the Department to follow up on any occurrences of corruption within the Department.
