Chairperson, last year during the Budget Vote debate, the ACDP suggested to the hon Minister that the Special Investigating Unit should be brought in to investigate a number of irregularities taking place. We were shocked this year during the Justice budget hearings, when the Special Investigating Unit indicated that it had only gained access to the Nkandla residence that week in order to investigate irregularities arising from the Public Protector's report.
So, from our side, we have difficulty supporting this Budget Vote because we have made positive recommendations in the past, which the Minister agreed with, but it seems that there is a difficulty in implementing those recommendations when one wants to. We see there is a will to address those irregularities, but if we are not using the tools at our disposal, then it is difficult to support this Budget Vote. I thank you, Chairperson.
