The Committee was seriously concerned with the poor expenditure and service delivery performance of the RHIG. In particular, the Committee had requested National Treasury and the Department of Human Settlements to jointly develop an integrated strategy that would ensure that expenditure and service delivery performance of the grant improves. The Committee could not get assurance from National Treasury and the Department of Human Settlements that the current rescheduling of RHIG as s specific purpose allocation to municipalities would improve the grant's performance. In addition, the Committee highlighted that municipalities are assigned additional responsibilities through additional grant allocations without due regard to the need to thoroughly consult affected municipalities.
