Mr Speaker, unfortunately this question also deals with the Anti-Corruption Inter-Ministerial Committee, but I'll answer it.
The Anti-Corruption Inter-Ministerial Committee is co-ordinated by the Minister in the Presidency responsible for performance monitoring and evaluation, and comprises the Ministers of Home Affairs, Justice and Constitutional Development, Public Service and Administration, State Security, Police, Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs, Finance, and Social Development.
The mandate of this committee is to ensure co-ordinated anticorruption efforts; promote policy coherence and alignment on cross-cutting anticorruption programmes of government; develop and enhance technical measures to curb corruption in both the public and private sectors; review procurement practices; address weaknesses in the criminal justice system to ensure that efficient prosecution takes place; and ensure political co- ordination of anticorruption efforts in the international arena.
The focus of the Anti-Corruption Inter-Ministerial Committee is to ensure a co-ordinated and efficient fight against corruption. The committee is finalising an action plan. Broadly, the action plan will deal with role clarification between departments, co-ordinating efforts and ensuring that structural and policy alignment take place for heightened impact on both the public and private sectors.
As I have already said, the Ministers of State Security, Justice and Constitutional Development, and Police are part of the committee. This will ensure that the law-enforcement agencies play an active and integral part in the co-ordinated fight against corruption. I thank you. [Applause.]
