President Cyril Ramaphosa’s bloated cabinet has again come under fire, this time from the National Council of Provinces.
“The capability of the state is what informs the approach that we have taken and we do believe that it is going to yield good results,” said Ramaphosa. Ramaphosa was asked if he would consider merging the departments of basic and higher education and he again committed to continue with the reconfiguring of the state.“We are going to be looking at the functionality of the state in totality and looking at whether there should be further mergers of state functions.
Higher education, which has been merged with science and technology, means the department is also much bigger when you add universities. “Their remit is quite different. Reconfiguration of the state is a process that we have embarked upon and we have a leaner, efficient, capable and effective government.”He said he has previously admitted that the capability of the state was a big problem and that’s why the government has embarked upon professionalising the civil service.Ramaphosa was again asked about the centralisation of power, with him moving ministries into the presidency.
