    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I was trying to get the logic behind the Committee trying to split. In Section 7 (2) we are basically talking of the responsibilities of the National Treasury. If we look at it in conjunction with Section 9, without anticipating debate on the proposed amendment to Section 9, we find that Section 9 deals with the Authority. We are removing the portal as Hon. Millie mentioned it in Section 9(1) (k) and bringing it to Section 7(2). But, we are also giving responsibility to the Authority to develop, train and support all staff in procurement. So, we have the National Treasury doing the development, training and support for all staff and the Authority doing development, support and training of all procurement staff. I do not know whether the Committee addressed itself to those two provisions. If there is no provision on training, who of the two bodies do we blame because we are now assigning the responsibilities to two bodies: the National Treasury and the Authority? If we are not clear on this, we will end up in the same situation of everyone saying that it is not them and thinking that the other is doing it. We either stick to one or the other. If it is the Committee’s opinion that it is the National Treasury that should be doing this, it will inform our decision on Section 9 (1) when we get there."
