Minister for  Presidential Affairs and Public Administration, Mr Eric Molale has told Parliament that the purpose of performance monitoring is not to identify the best or worst performers in the public service; rather, it is used to help the President to closely monitor performance of ministries and departments.

Furthermore, Mr Molale said this was a common approach in any setting where leadership had to ensure delivery as per the agreed plans. He said the performance monitoring was based mainly on the committee of supply deliverables, which culminated with the President giving the State-of- the-Nation on what government had achieved.

Gabane-Mmankgodi Member of Parliament Maj. Gen.l Pius Mokgware had asked Minister for Presidential Affairs and Public Administration to tell Parliament on the best and worst performing ministries for the last two years; what were the main reasons for under-performance and what action had been undertaken to improve performance.
