Public Service and Administration Deputy Minister, Dr Chana Pilane-Majake will lead a breakfast session aimed at finding a lasting solution to government departments’ inability to pay suppliers within the prescribed 30-day period.
The principles of the Batho Pele revitalised strategy will be on top of the agenda of the much-awaited breakfast session to be held at Protea Hotel ANew in Pretoria on Friday, 3 March, 2023.
Earlier this year, Deputy Minister Pilane-Majake held a meeting with Young Women in Business affiliated to the National African Federated Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NAFCOC), where the non-compliance to pay service providers within the prescribed period dominated their discussions.
The Young Women in Business then requested to have a broader meeting with the Deputy Minister, this time around with their respective delegation to properly discuss the role of DPSA in ensuring compliance in line with the Batho Pele principles.
To demonstrate that this is a caring government of the people by the people, the Deputy Minister agreed to have a solution-driven breakfast session with the entrepreneurs to stamp out the non-compliance to pay suppliers on time by certain national and provincial government departments.
The DPSA is at the centre of government, where it plays a major policy role in establishing norms and standards for the entire public service space, to ensure that service-delivery mechanisms, integrated systems and access, human resources, institutional development, and governance initiatives are responsive to the needs of citizens.
