Question NW2592 to the Minister of Social Development
12 August 2015 - NW2592
Kopane, Ms SP to ask the Minister of Social Development
Whether, with regard to her reply to question 1960 on 23 June 2015, she can confirm that no international trips were taken to benchmark the different payment systems in (a) 2007, (b) 2009, (c) 2010, (d) 2011 and (e) 2013 by (i) her, (ii) any official in her department and (iii) any entities that report to her; if not, why not?
Reply:
The Honourable Member must refer to my previous reply to question 1960 in which I have outlined the international trips undertaken for benchmarking purposes. The Honourable Member must also be clear in terms of what she is asking for because in the previous question the focus was on the period leading up to SASSA’s promulgation and now the question includes this period post SASSA’s establishment.
