Ramaphosa has signed a proclamation appointing the Minister in the Presidency responsible for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation as the executive authority of the DPE, which will continue to exist and operate until the human and financial resources are transferred appropriately.

This appointment empowers the Minister to exercise power with respect to DPE all relevant powers and functions under the Public Service Act of 1994 and the Public Finance Management Act of 1999.
