Thank you very much, Deputy Speaker. Thank you very much, hon Minister, for that reply. In terms of the report by the Commission on Growth and Development, one of the strategies they have named for successful countries that have achieved growth of 7% each year for 25 years, was that they had capable governments that held public agencies to account.
Now, could I ask the Minister whether she would consider when she proposes the new guidelines to Cabinet, not paying any bonuses if there is no performance by these parastatals?
Secondly, could the Minister remind some of these officials that although they, obviously, can be appropriately remunerated, they are performing a public service. Somebody must remind them that they cannot ask for the same bonuses as the private sector.
