[Mr M W MAKHUBELA: Chairperson, Minister Mudondolofana, Ncila-va-ololi and the House, I am standing before you to praise the way in which your department performed. I wish you were had been employed in that position 15 years ago! What we heard today is what the Congress of the People, Cope, stands for. It is good that you made mention of Batho Pele. I want to ask you: When you say "Batho Pele", or "People First" and you give preference to the people when you serve, what do you mean? For the past 15 years, hasn't the previous government realised all these things as the work is still lying unattended to? Since you are saying you want to start working in this way, we want Cope to be with you in that regard.
Once more, you talked about the Public Administration Leadership and Management Academy, Palama, and you said, "It is the way to go." This is what we are always talking about in Cope. We ask ourselves what this government is doing. Having seen it, we will support you to more this work forward. One other thing that I want to ask about is the internship programmes. When experienced people are employed ... I heard it when you were talking on Ngula ya Vutivi yesterday evening on SABC. You made me so happy when you were able to explain to the nation that ... it is the Minister who is unable to hide things and once more tell the whole truth as to how he will perform the work. I want to know how many people have been trained and empowered through internship programmes so that, once they are experienced, they can be employed in government?
I see again in your strategic planning that you have 112 posts. The chief financial officer post has not been filled for three years. What is happening in that regard? When will the outstanding 111 posts be filled? Since you are responsible for all the departments, I want to know how many posts are still vacant in all the departments and for how many years have they been vacant? We want to know so that we can be on par with you.
I feel so happy because I stand by what President Zuma said. I will say it in English.]
President Zuma made it clear that the Public Service must respond to the economic downturn by spending public funds wisely and fruitfully.
Loko ndzi lava ku mi hlamusela kahle, ndzi ta teka xikombiso xo olova. A ndzi lava ku mi hlamusela leswaku swi dya mali yo tala swilo leswi. [Nkarhi wu herile.] [Phokotela.] [Va phokotela.] [If I want to be explicit, I will give a simple example. I want to say that these things waste a lot of money. [Time expired.] [Applause.]]
