2. IJS projects. Although there is a close relationship between the Department's ICT and justice modernisation projects, the Department explained that it has not been able to access IJS funding until recently, as the focus has been on developing the SAPS' systems first. The Committee notes that the following amounts have been reprioritised over the MTEF from the SAPS to Justice for the criminal justice sector revamp and modernisation programme: R300 million in 2013/14, R400 million in 2014/15 and R450 million in 2015/16. The need for improved co-ordination and integration of the JCPS Cluster departments' IT systems, however, was identified in 2007 as vital to efforts to ensure the effective implementation of the Criminal Justice System's Seven- Point Plan. A Cluster review in late 2011 revealed significant challenges, including those relating to the governance and leadership of the Integrated Justice System (IJS) Board; strategic alignment of Cluster departments; and SITA's internal limitations. The IJS Board, however, has been reconstituted and the Director-General: Justice is now receiving regular reports, which are shared with her counterparts in stakeholder departments. The Department reports five integration priorities, that are have been 'packaged into three major programme streams.' The priorities concern case-related integration, Cluster business intelligence capabilities and the management of persons within the criminal justice system (identification and tracking of individuals throughout the criminal justice system). The Department reports achievements that include concluding piloting various case related integrations between SAPS upgraded crime administration system (CAS) and the Department's ICMS in the Benoni and Cullinan Court districts. The Committee is frustrated that progress is so slow, given the amount of time and money that has been invested in the IJS. Last year, in the BRRR, the Committee requested that the Auditor-General audit the IJS and this is being done. A further concern is a report that the SAPS have indicated that it will be yet another ten years before it is able to implement its electronic case management system in full. This has obvious consequences for the other departments within the Cluster, whose systems would need to integrate with the SAPS. The Committee has, therefore, decided to convene a joint meeting with relevant portfolio committees to discuss progress relating to the implementation of the criminal justice sector revamp, which will include a focus on the IJS, in the next quarter. The Committee requests, in addition, that the Department provide a report on the progress to date, with time frames, of the IJS projects by 19 July 2013.
