Administration: Programme 1 was allocated a total budget of R419 million for the 2009/10 financial year after the adjustment budget. The programme has managed to spend exactly R419 million or 100 per cent of this budget. This means that the Department has spent exactly according to its projections in this programme. However, even though the budget is well spent in this programme but there is an amount of R31.3 million which was shifted from other programmes to this programmes, in turn increasing this programme's budget balance from R392 million to R419 million. This movement of funds was done during the adjustment period, though the PFMA allows it but it is subject to abuse in a number of ways and results in unintended consequences. Firstly, when a Department moves funds from one programme to another those funds do not move with a programme therefore this movement defeats the intended goal of that particular programme. Secondly, people move funds precisely because of poor financial planning in that particular financial year. It is also an indicative of incomprehensible use of the medium term expenditure framework (MTEF) hence it gives proper projections three years prior on how the budget will look like. When used correctly, the medium term expenditure gives a chance to departments to adjust their budgets prior the implementation stage.
