Programme 4 of the budget of the public works and infrastructure makes allowance for R60 million for policy development. Despite this, no policy development has actually taken place. The Public Works Bill has been outstanding since 2014 despite numerous promises to get the White Papers reviewed. Amendments to Construction Industry Development Board, CIDB, and the Council for the Built Environment, CBE, Bills are still floundering around. Not to mention a complete lack of direction on Expanded Public Works Programme, EPWP, policy to ensure uniformity of application and mechanisms to ensure value for money spent on the programme.
