The Committee expressed concern at the position of the Department of Cooperative Governance in this regard. It argued that extensive discussions had taken place with the Department of Cooperative Governance and other relevant stakeholders in respect of the MIG grant and the need to ring- fence funds for sports facilities. These discussions took place as far back as 2010. Concerns were raised that the Department of Cooperative Governance had disregarded those engagements. The Committee committed to further engage the Department of Cooperative Governance along with the relevant stakeholders on the matter.
