The unauthorised expenditure in 2010/11 comprises the following items per economic classification: a. Due to the creation of two Ministries, the Ministry of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation and the Ministry of National Planning in 2009, the Presidency increased its establishment by filling 89 unfunded posts; b. The Presidency had to provide on-going mediation in Zimbabwe as well as in Libya and the Presidency's role in the Southern African Development Community Troika also contributed to the over expenditure in travel and subsistence; c. The Presidency had a number of legal cases to respond to. Most of the litigations took longer than a year and the Presidency could not have anticipated that they would be finalised in any particular financial year; d. The introduction of the presidential hotline was not well costed and budgeted for, and resulted in overspending on computer services and communication items; and e. The budget of transfers to households was over spent mainly due to payment of leave gratuities due to 13 resignations and 3 deaths. 4. Recommendation
