I have great respect for what the Minister has just said and I'm really very happy to hear it. The competency or the powers - whatever you want to call it - rests with the MECs to take the necessary action within 14 days after they have been notified of the council decision.
Now, I can mention a couple of situations where these unlawful appointments have been made and where positions have not been advertised and contracts have just been extended. Others have had court judgments and those are not being followed through. So, can the Minister tell us whether he may then intervene over and above the MEC, please?
