Question NW276 to the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
04 March 2025 - NW276
Tambo, Mr S to ask the Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture
With reference to his reply to question 1925 on 4 December 2024, what steps will he take to ensure that the Iziko Museums of South Africa accounts for the fruitless and wasteful expenditure of R308 225 that was spent on the first exercise of the recruitment of the chief executive officer?
Reply:
The process to appoint the Chief Executive Officer was put on hold by my predecessor, due to the amalgamation project. The recruitment had to be re-started after the project was cancelled. In an event that the expenditure is classified as fruitless and wasteful expenditure, Treasury Regulations will be followed on how the finding will be dealt with.
