Question NW2759 to the Minister of Transport
28 September 2017 - NW2759
Steenkamp, Ms J to ask the Minister of Transport
Whether his department has a representative on any of the boards of any of the entities which report to him; if not, (a) why not, (b) how has he or his department been kept abreast of developments and (c) when will a representative be appointed to each respective board; if so, how do they report back to him or his department?
Reply:
The Department has representatives in eight entities and has no representatives in the four entities reporting to the Department.
- The founding legislations of the other four entities do not provide for the Departmental Representative on their Boards.
- All twelve entities reports quarterly to the Department to keep the Minister abreast on the performance of the Entity.
- The eight entities whose founding legislations provides for departmental representatives are capacitated with departmental representatives and in instances where the Board’s term expired, a Departmental representative is always nominated when the new Board is appointed.
