Chairperson, we have recently introduced a management system that will assist us to record and capture information related to the use of consultants in our state departments. At the moment there is no instrument that we can use to capture that information. We have identified a need to do so.
This arrangement will assist us to know which departments are doing their business through the use of consultants and in which areas. This will avoid situations where departments use consultants for the work that they are able to achieve through the use of their own public servants. This is why we are doing that.
In some areas the use of consultants is unavoidable because of a lack of skills that you may not command. In other areas you may do without them. This system is built into our integrity management system to make sure that we have that information to be able to act when the need arises. Thank you.
