Hon Deputy Minister, there were two very obvious flaws in this training. They were so obvious, in fact, that they speak of poor planning and conception.
The first was that experienced councillors were intended to get the same training as the new councillors. Obviously, experienced councillors found that the training was of little use. So, why spend money on training experienced councillors if you are going to give them the same introductory course?
The second flaw was that in some cases trainers were former councillors from rural municipalities, who were expected to train metro councillors. There was a vast difference between the two.
Does the Minister agree that the training wasted money?
