Gauteng Dept of Finance leaders were 'ambivalent' on mandate – Creecy

Gauteng MEC for Finance Barbara Creecy revealed in a statement on Friday that the leadership of the Gauteng Department of Finance (GDF) have acknowledged that they have been “ambivalent” about their mandate and direction, and have consequently been “more concerned with their own survival”. “At a strategic planning session we had last week we agreed that this is going to change. I am now leading a process of role clarification for all staff and I want to assure honourable members that we are going to focus on the service we offer the Gauteng Provincial Government (GPG) and our citizens and not on ourselves,” she told the Gauteng Provincial Legislature during her Budget Vote speech.
