Well, apart from
many provisions that guide us on this aspect, the National Development Plan, NDP, espouses aspirations in respect of delegations, accounting and oversight. In this regard, the Cabinet approved the principles of public administration and financial delegations and minimum levels of delegations on 7 August as far back as 2013. In respect of the powers and the duties necessary for the recruitment and other human resources practises, and the Minister for Public Service and Administration issued a directive on public administration and management delegations on 4 August 2014,
to provide the head of the departments with greater delegations for things they are responsible for. Various delegations that were issued in terms of a directive provided for maximum delegation to DGs and HODs based on the minimum levels that had been approved by Cabinet before, and the directive of Public Administration and Management Delegation 2014 intends to ensure a closer alignment between the powers of the duties of the HODs and DGs, as accounting officers in terms of the Public Service Act of 1994 and the Public Service Management Act of 1999. Thank you.
