Deputy Speaker, my response to the statement by the Freedom Front Plus is that, since the release of the audit report of 2008-09, we had a press briefing last year at which the Department of Public Works briefed the media on the work that we were doing on reviewing our supply chain management processes, in particular the department's entire lease portfolio.
More recently, and concurrent to the department's own work in this regard, the Special Investigation Unit is also conducting a broader investigation which is inclusive of the department's lease portfolio. Also, the Office of the Public Protector has served the Department of Public Works with a communiqu requesting specific information regarding the specific case for the purpose of its own separate investigation. Consequently, the implementation of the two leases in question is being held in abeyance in order to allow space for the processes of all these investigations to be proceeded with. Thank you.
