Yes, I am pleased that we have reached a conclusion on the matter because we had raised it.

The next item is No. 2084, from an individual we dealt with last week in respect of No. 2070, on the election observation roster. The individual has provided a correction. The briefing last week stated the individual was not granted a place on the roster and has taken an appeal to the High Court, but the correspondence states this is not correct. The individual has stated the Department had made a number of complaints about him to the Information Commissioner in the High Court but that he was appealing it. He stated that taking the High Court judgment to the Court of Appeal has caused him great personal cost. I am happy to put the correction on the record, although I do not believe that it changes our decision that the selection process for the election roster is not a matter for the Committee of Public Accounts. I thank the individual for correcting the matter and we note the correspondence.
