The number, which is staggering, troubles me. Something that worries me more is that one of the reasons we get back for not having that information, on the one hand, is the manager responsible for the expenditure could not be identified centrally. That would very much worry me. Then the flip side is that the identified managers failed to respond to the exercise. When they were asked about their compliance, they stonewalled the auditors. Both of those really concern me, and the latter more so. If somebody does not comply with that exercise or if there are trends in terms of non-compliant procurement in specific areas, are there sanctions? They have approached people and asked could they explain certain procurements and were informed by these individuals that they could not, that they did not see that email or whatever. Is there a sanction in place whereby they go back and demand the information?
