Question NW3913 to the Minister of Transport
01 December 2017 - NW3913
De Freitas, Mr MS to ask the Minister of Transport
Whether he has been presented with candidates for the position of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Road Accident Fund since his reply to question 3538 on 10 November 2017; if so, (a) why has he not appointed a new CEO and (b) by which date will a new CEO be appointed?
Reply:
a) Yes the RAF has since made a recommendation for the appointment of a permanent Chief Executitve (“CEO”), however the process of appointment has since been halted due to certain allegations of possible irregularities that have been brought to my attention regarding the appointment. I have requested the Chairperson of the RAF board to institute an investigation and to report back to me in order to make a determination.
b) A new CEO will be appointed once the allegations to the irregularities have been cleared
