In the Auditor-General's general report on national audit outcomes for 2009- 10, irregular expenditure for the departments totalled a staggering R2,3 billion and the total irregular expenditure of public entities amounted to R1,5 billion. This R3,8 billion is a lot of money and this government needs to spend at least half a billion rand on anticorruption activities. It would be a relatively small investment for a very big return.
