MR M SWARTS (DA) TO ASK THE MINISTER IN THE PRESIDENCY:
PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND EVALUATION:
What are the reasons for the over expenditure of 9195.83% on households in
respect of transfers and subsidies by the Presidency in the 2008-2009
financial year?
NW1782E
REPLY:
The reason for the over âexpenditure under households in respect of
transfers and subsidies in 2008/09 is because the former Political
Principals in the Presidency were paid their leave pay gratuity in 2008/09
, which was not anticipated to be payable in 2008/09, therefore, there was
no provision made on the budget for these expenditure. The expenditure also
includes payment for leave pay to other employees who were employed by the
Presidency and resigned in the 2008/09 financial year.
