Mr Speaker, while I fully agree with the President that there are issues of compliance - like the ones that we are talking about now, which have been breached - section 217 of the Constitution stipulates clearly that contracts for goods and services must be fair, equitable, transparent, competitive and cost-effective.
This was not the case in the SGL Engineering Projects tenders. Noting that this was not the case, would the President inform us how he will attend to this matter, if, upon investigation, it comes to a point that compliance and the Constitution itself have been breached in this matter.
I would assume that the President, as a custodian of that Constitution, is duty-bound to take this matter as seriously as he committed himself to doing during his state of the nation address last year, and that this year he will root out and fight corruption up to its end. I still count on your word. Thank you. [Applause.]
