We believe that the R20 billion for municipalities announced by @PresidencyZA, ought to come with clear National Treasury instructions limiting what municipalities can spend the remainder of their funds on, eg: not on massive increases for senior staff.
Municipalities need urgent guidance by NT on the reprioritisation of draft budgets. In most cases, their draft 2020/21 budgets were drawn up in Jan/Feb - before #Covid19inSA, meaning they are unresponsive to the depth of the current crises.
@PresidencyZA @tito_mboweni
Municipalities cannot approach the finalisation of their 2020/21 budget as if its 'business as usual'. At least for the next financial year or more, 'nice-to-have' projects will have to be shelved or rephased, and the health, social and safety of all their ratepayers prioritised
The other problem @PresidencyZA - our elected Councillors are being shut out & prevented from exercising legislative oversight over the municipal executive. #Strandfontein Homeless camp is a perfect example. Elected opposition Cllrs are barred from entering to exercise oversight
Luxury cars. Ghost staff. Inflated tenders. We don’t need to stretch our imagination to predict where the R20 billion will end up. @CyrilRamaphosa should have known better
This has occured, hence the need for NT instructions.
I hope the Auditor General and SCOPA are ready to evaluate the spending.... I see, I fear!
