In the next few months, there will be two departments emanating from the current Department of Minerals and Energy. Each of the new departments will contain functional branches that logically fit into that particular department, as well as their own support services. Each Department will further manage its own regional offices in line with the approved structures. The Minister and the current Director General will appoint an Acting Director General of Energy and other critical appointments to set up the new Department. The current Director General remains the hosting Accounting Officer (Department of Mining). The Committee raised its concern on the adequacy of the budget to support this process.
