Organisations have asked the national command council to be allowed to participate in the process
Institutions established by the constitution to support democracy in SA have written to the national command council managing the government’s response to the Covid-19 crisis requesting they be included in the process.
The office of the public protector is resisting a demand by the Treasury to cut its budget by 17%, or R57.6m, saying this will affect the achievement of its targets. “PPSA is in dire need to acquire an electronic case management system for its investigations programme,” Senosi said. “Now cases are monitored and managed manually and it is an enormous task for an institution with such a huge caseload — and a risk of data integrity.”
“Furthermore, the goods and services budget of R72.7m is mainly made up of contractual obligations of R60.7m, funding of key activities in the annual performance plan of R3.1m and operational costs of R8.8m,” Senosi said.
