Thank you very
much House Chair and to all the members in the NCOP, the response to Question 104 is: Upon the appointment of members of the executive, the Presidency as a practice, co-ordinates an induction programme that occurs over two days for the new members of the national executive. The Department of the Public Service and Administration makes presentation on that induction programme to clarify the different roles and responsibilities of executive authority and the head of the department or director-general, DG, regarding the powers vested in terms of Public Service Act of 1994, including the recruitment of the personnel. A similar presentation is made by the National Treasury to clarify the different roles of the executive authority and accounting officers in terms of the Public Service Management Act of 1999. These are the things that actually happened after getting appointed. Thank you.
