4. Maintenance of existing infrastructure. The Department told the Committee that DPW does have a planned maintenance programme for court buildings but that the Department is unable to establish with any certainty details of the programme. The Committee finds this altogether unacceptable and queries whether DPW should continue to be responsible for maintaining court buildings The Committee acknowledges that budget constraints pose a challenge for the maintenance of court infrastructure and the need to build additional courts must be weighed against the need to maintain what already exists. The Committee requests that the Department continues also to report on its court maintenance programme by 19 July 2013, and be prepared to present on it quarterly.
