  9. 6. Reasons for Under spending In the Department and corrective measures • The high rate of vacancy in the Department as a result of the organisational review. The review has now been finalized and critical positions are being filled. • Delays in the implementation of projects due to the instability in the Department. Measures were put in place to expedite the implementation including the re-constitution of the Bid Committee including the appointment of alternate members • Key internal controls were put in place resulting in the slow pacing of spending, the new culture is now emerging.

  10. Conclusion • The spending has been prudently increased in the Department in compliance with the Public Finance Management Act and Treasury Regulations. • A culture of compliance is evident in the Department and all Responsibility Managers have been trained on Supply Chain Management and the Budget processes. This training is now a pre-requisite prior to appointment of officials as Responsibility Managers. • Priority projects were identified and submitted to the Bid Committee. Majority of such projects are being implemented and almost nearing completion. Making South Africa a Global Leader in Harnessing ICTs for Socio-economic Development
