Mr Chair, the Division of Revenue Amendment Bill provides for the equitable division of revenue between the three spheres of government. The Bill now before Parliament will allow the flow of R562 billion in revenue to national government, R291 billion to provinces and R34 billion to local government.
When we look at the division of revenue, we in the ACDP are of the opinion that more funds should have been flowing to the local government area because that is where service delivery takes place. Nevertheless, the ACDP supports the Division of Revenue Bill and we feel that there are some good signs, like the increased expenditure on infrastructure, which will assist in creating jobs. Unfortunately, not enough has been spent in that area. Nevertheless, the ACDP supports the Division of Revenue Bill. [Applause.]
