GNU building on progress of previous administration, says Ramaphosa
On Tuesday, President Cyril Ramaphosa promised that the presidency would build on the progress made by the previous administration.
Ramaphosa returned to Parliament to present the Presidency’s budget, telling MPs that his office's main priority is to implement the priorities outlined during the Opening of Parliament Address.
"We have made significant strides over the course of the last five years to restore our country and our economy,” the president said.
“We need to sustain the work that has been done and see many of the measures we have taken through to completion.
"At the same time, we need to appreciate the changes that have taken place in government, and we need to respond to the mandate from the electorate that we carry.”
He said the sixth administration brought together a wide variety of people to provide insights and inputs based on expert knowledge and sound evidence.
"The Presidential Economic Advisory Council played a vital role in advising both the president and relevant ministers on the most important economic challenges facing the country.
"The Presidential State-Owned Enterprises Council has been pivotal to the fundamental overhaul of the architecture of our state-owned enterprises.
"Another important advisory body is the National Anti-Corruption Advisory Council, which was established to advise government and mobilise society around a comprehensive programme to end corruption in all its forms.”
