26 February 2024 - NW78
Khumalo, Dr NV to ask the Minister of Human Settlements
What are the details of the (a) impact of the task team that was set up to deal with procurement challenges in each province since its establishment and (b) steps that she intends to take to address the lack of impact of the task team?
Reply:
(a) & (b). Only one Team was established and deployed in the Free State Province to assist in addressing the procurement challenges. The Team has made a remarkable positive impact in turning around the procurement challenges in the province, with an expenditure rate of above 70% that has been achieved as of February 2024.
The Department did not establish any other similar teams in other Provinces.
