    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a very good Statement by Hon. Osotsi who is a Member of my Committee. The IFMIS is a system which has been in place since 2001 and overtime, it has been upgraded. According to reports from the Auditor-General, there are issues we need to inquire. In fact, I expected this to be an inquiry and not a Statement. I do not believe the Statement from the relevant Ministry will be enough. I also propose as the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning calls the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury to report on this, they also enjoin the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) and the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation. Since, it is the expert Committee on systems in this House. Secondly, the Ministry of ICT implements ICT solutions in the country on shared services. The IFMIS is a critical system, as other systems in the ICT sector, with critical infrastructure like fibre optic. Therefore, apart from seeking for a Statement, we need to inquire. Over time, we have been told several resources or funds have been lost through IFMIS. Hon. Osotsi has mentioned about the National Youth Service scandals in the past and many others. We need to look into this and assist by giving recommendations on how to ensure the system is security proof and water tight, so that people with malicious intentions do not hack into the system and we lose resources. We should look into this and give proposals on how to improve it. So, let us enjoin the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation to assist the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning because they The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
