Question NW1807 to the Minister of Human Settlements
21 November 2024 - NW1807
Poole, Mr C to ask the Minister of Human Settlements
With reference to the report of the Auditor-General showing unreliable reporting by her department and the entities that report to her, coupled with the inability to assess performance and/or take action, which results in beneficiaries not receiving their social houses and housing subsidy, what are the relevant details of the actions and strategies that will be taken to stop the continuous failure by entities that are supposed to render a service on behalf of her department?
Reply:
The entities are required to develop an audit action plan, outlining action steps and timeframes taken to address the audit findings emanating from the 2023/24 annual audit. The Department monitors the progress of entities with the implementation of the specified action steps on a quarterly basis and entities account accordingly.
