Gauteng Premier David Makhura has requested Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba to facilitate the transfer of Michael Sachs to the provincial government.

Sachs caused a stir this week when he announced his resignation as National Treasury’s Deputy Director General in the Budget Office.

He will join the office of the premier as the Deputy Director General responsible for Performance Monitoring and Evaluation.

“The premier said that he would like to use his skills to immediately help stabilise the finances of Gauteng Department of Health which pose a major risk at the moment. He will then after focus on monitoring and fast tracking spending on infrastructure budget of the Gauteng departments and the municipalities. Mr Sachs has accepted the offer of the transfer from the National Treasury to the Gauteng Provincial Government. The premier has spoken to the Minister of Finance who has confirmed that he’s attending to the premier’s request for the transfer of Mr Sachs,” says the Premier’s Spokesperson, Phumla Sekhonyane.
