Question NW672 to the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
18 March 2022 - NW672
Joseph, Mr D to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
Whether he has found that the amalgamation of the Department of Sports and Recreation with the Department of Arts and Culture, which resulted in the increase of entities reporting to him, will have an impact on the restructuring of the specified entities; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
The amalgamation of the two Departments will not have an impact on the restructuring of public entities. The former Department of Sports and Recreation had two public entities with separate mandates. Therefore, these entities will not be subjected to the amalgamation process like the ones which reported to the former Department of Arts and Culture.
