Deputy Speaker, the current Cabinet is the biggest we have had since the advent of our democracy. At the beginning of this year, it was fully catered for. We need some clarity on what made it necessary for the Presidency to require yet another R84 million solely for the Presidency, at a time when we are running short of funds and communities are up in arms because of a lack of delivery, and when the Minister of Finance actually advised that there was a need to employ at the point of service delivery. What is the meaning of this? Why was it necessary to have this R84 million - to employ people that walk the grounds of this Parliament here?
The MINISTER IN THE PRESIDENCY - PERFORMANCE MONITORING, EVALUATION AND ADMINISTRATION: Deputy Speaker, the R84 million, which is an addition to the budget of the Presidency, is an accumulation of various items. However, as we have said, the capacity of the Presidency has got nothing to do with the appointment of the Cabinet. It has to do with the functions of the Presidency itself.
Therefore, the only addition which would probably relate to the changed Cabinet would be the addition of the Deputy Minister in the Office of the President and that would be catered for within the current Budget without having to increase it, as we know that the changes took place after the Budget had been tabled in Parliament.
