Thank you very much, Speaker. Mr President, following your response to this question, let me ask a specific question concerning the filling of vacant posts. The Department of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Cogta, takes about 20 months to fill a vacant post, and that is why we have problems in terms of service delivery. If you look at the Department of Health, it takes three years - I think you have already said that - to fill professional posts. If you look at the Department of Transport, it takes 29 months to fill critical vacant posts. The Department of Police takes four years. The question is: What are you going to do to correct this problem that you have in these four departments in particular? There are many other departments, but I have chosen these four as they require action, because as the President you must be worried about particularly Cogta in terms of service delivery, and about the marches and protests taking place in the country.
So the question is: What are the consequences for people not adhering to the programme that you have put forward in terms of filling vacancies of critical posts? That is all I want to ask you, Mr President.
