Deputy Speaker, I appreciate that the Minister is new to this portfolio, and I'm sure she has inherited some serious problems. She has just attested to the suspension of the acting director-general and the chief financial officer.
Having said that, Minister, there seems to be a serious problem with multiyear budget planning, and the management of dam-building projects. Underexpenditure in the dam-building programmes results in the escalation of costs. How does the Minister intend to address this so as to avoid the unnecessary wastage of public money and the high cost of construction and infrastructure? Thank you.
