Chair, this is in response to the hon member who spoke about the forensic audit regarding the smart identity card. As you know, hon member, the State Information Technology Agency, Sita, is under the Department of Public Service and Administration. Naturally, if the Sita does a forensic audit, the report will be submitted to the relevant Minister.
In that regard, our Minister has not been furnished with the report. So, no matter how much we try to force her to release the report, she doesn't have it. The decision that we took in requesting the National Treasury to take over this process arose from the concern that the mere fact that a forensic report had been commissioned meant that there were problems.
To pre-empt whatever problems there may be, we made a request to the National Treasury to take over this process to safeguard its integrity. When the report is ready, it will be made available. In the meanwhile, the National Treasury has been requested to take over the process to safeguard its integrity, so that we can move on with the smart ID card. Thank you very much. [Applause.]
