Nsfas administrator Dr Randall Carolissen has moved to quell any claims of mistrust that may exist between the scheme and Parliament after he and his team were sent packing by a parliamentary committee and accused of “blatant disregard of accountability”
This follows the drama that ensued at the parliamentary select committee on education, technology, sports, arts and culture meeting on Wednesday last week when Carolissen and his team were sent packing without presenting an all-important report about the goings-on at Nsfas.The report was to be interrogated by committee members but that meeting had to be postponed.
A statement issued by committee chairperson Elleck Nchabeleng on Wednesday also said committee members expressed extreme disappointment with Nsfas management because this deprived members an opportunity to “fully scrutinise the documents and prepare for the engagement with Nsfas”, and that according to them, this was a “blatant disregard of accountability”.. Maladministration;.
Nchabeleng said on Thursday that the committee still had to decide on a date to call Nsfas for the meeting. According to minutes of that meeting seen by City Press, committee members decried Nsfas’ decision to submit the report at the last minute complaining that they would be unable to scrutinise it.
