Chairperson, the hon member is right. We should be setting the example as government. I think we have set the example in many areas. If you look at the figures that we are presenting today and juxtapose that with the private sector, we are doing much better than the private sector.
The other problem, hon member, is that you will find that some departments have reached and surpassed the 2% threshold, but it is those that are not making an effort that bring the figure down. We should then look at ensuring that it becomes part of the performance agreement between the executing authority and the accounting officer. You would then see an increase in the figures.
Just to take you up on your lighter note, hon member, have you done a study to determine what the percentage of people with disabilities is as a percentage of the general population?
Drafting of regulations since last national elections, and consideration and finalisation of such regulations
85. Ms M G Boroto (ANC) asked the Minister for the Public Service and Administration:
(1) Whether her department has drafted any regulations since the last national elections; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, how many;
(2) whether such regulations were sent to Parliament for consideration; if not, why not; if so, when were they finalised?
