In response to the Deputy's query, please find in tabular form, the name of each appointee made; the date of appointment; whether or not each appointee came through an advertised public application process or otherwise, and the number of vacancies which presently exist on State Boards, in period March 2011 to date 2015. I have included ex-officiomembers in the table provided.
I would ask the Deputy to note that the National Treasury Management Agency Advisory Committee, State Claims Agency and the National Development Finance Agency have all been dissolved following the commencement of the relevant sections of the National Treasury Management Agency (Amendment) Act 2014.
