SUMMARY
The Chairperson stated that the Department of Public Service and Administration
(DPSA) requested to meet with the Public Services Commission (PCS) prior to the
hearing, and as such the meeting needed to be rescheduled to a later date. It
was emphasized that this occurrence in no way reflected on the readiness of the
PSC for the hearings.
MINUTES
The Chairperson stated that due to the Department of Public Service and
Administration requested to meet with the Public Services Commission (PCS)
prior to the hearing, and the request was agreed to. There was thus no point in
having a partial meeting,. He proposed that the PSC’s intended submission not
be made at that time. The Chairperson asked Mr K Minnie (DA) whether he was
satisfied.
Mr Minnie replied that he was not, but that there was nothing that could be
done.
Mr M Baloyi (ANC) contextualised the situation by stating that the PSC was not
unprepared. He explained that the Committee received a request from the DPSA
for an opportunity to interact with the PSC on the Public Services Amendment
Bill. The Committee required a resolution to the issue as quickly as possible.
The meeting was adjourned.
