Reply:
With regard to Accounting Officers of government departments who are facing, (a) Criminal and/or (b) Disciplinary actions in relation to the late payments of suppliers (i) in the (aa) 2016-17 and/or (bb) 2017-18 financial years and/or (ii) since 1 April 2018, the DPME unfortunately do not collect such information and are not able to report on this. The National Treasury would be the appropriate department to answer this question.
