Minister, some of the municipalities are not adhering to the service delivery budget and implementation plan. Therefore, as we know that municipalities are expected to ensure that they adhere to that in order to control their expenditure. Now, my question is, what plan do you have in place to enforce compliance by those municipalities that are not adhering to the service delivery budget and implementation plan? I thank you.
The MINISTER OF CO-OPERATIVE GOVERNANCE AND TRADITIONAL
AFFAIRS: Hon Speaker, we have a team both on the basis of the Cogta oversight responsibility and Treasury oversight responsibility. That actually oversees and looks at how the municipalities are performing in terms of their expenditure pattern. We sent these teams to go and have a look and then come back with reports, and wherever necessary we had to then deal with those specific municipalities on the issues of how they have deviated.
