The Free State provincial government will wrap up the three-day Lekgotla which was held at Phillip Sanders on 3 to 5 August 2010. At the Lekgotla Free State Premier ES Magashule indicated that the session is a platform for government to assess its performance in a thorough manner to ensure that challenges, weaknesses and blockages are identified and addressed accordingly.
In his opening remarks Magashule reiterated the President’s stance that 2010 is a year of action; a year to do things differently. He indicated that thus far, government’s performance is satisfactory and they have achieved a lot since they took office.
“However we acknowledge that we are lagging behind in some areas hence this assessment to collectively look at ways and means of delivering quality services to our people”, says Magashule. He said as decision makers they have come under one roof to ensure that they steer effective service delivery and cut bureaucracy to achieve the goals attached to the key priority areas.
Magashule further pointed out that government remains committed to intensify massification, upscale campaigns on immunisation of children, HCT, ID campaign, registration of school children, etc.
