Chairperson, Minister, you did not address one fundamental issue. I do understand when you talk about the nonpartisanship. But the issue here is why did they use the website to make sure that employees go and support this march? Is it acceptable?
The MINISTER IN THE PRESIDENCY - PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND EVALUATION, AS WELL AS ADMINISTRATION IN THE PRESIDENCY: I think the question is incomplete. I said here that the NYDA used its website to tell its staff that anyone who wants to participate in the march must take leave. [Interjections.] That's an internal memo. [Interjections.] The NYDA does not have members. It can only talk to its staff, and that is what I am saying. [Interjections.] If the NYDA puts any information in the website, that is its right. It has been established in terms of this legislation. The question is: Did they break any part of the legislation which established the agency? As far as I'm concerned for now, they haven't. On what basis would you take action around that?
