Agb Voorsitter, ek wil vir die agb Minister s dat ek dink dat hy die kat aan die stert beet het. Hy het nie die vraag verstaan nie. Die vraag wat ek vra is in verband met 'n forensiese ondersoek wat gedoen is in die Stadsraad van Matlosana. (Translation of Afrikaans paragraph follows.)
[Mr P J GROENEWALD: Hon Chairperson, I want to tell the hon Minister that I believe he is missing the mark. He did not understand the question. The question I am posing relates to a forensic investigation that was done in the Matlosana City Council.]
The investigation has been completed, hon Minister. The forensic report is there. In fact, it was completed in 2007. But they don't want to reveal the outcome of the investigation. It cost the taxpayers of Matlosana, which includes Klerkdorp, Orkney, Stilfontein and Hartebeesfontein, more than R1 million for the forensic report. Now the hon Minister comes here and tells us about what is going on in the province. I know that the North West is a big problem for you. But if you can solve this problem, there will be great progress in your efforts to reduce problems in the North West. So, with great respect, I did not receive an answer.
My question is: Why is the report not revealed even to councillors and to the public? The taxpayer's money was used in this regard, and the Constitution says that we have the right to information and to the findings of that report. Can I get an answer on that, please? Thank you.
