Chairperson, I hereby give notice that on the next sitting day of the House I shall move on behalf of Cope:
That the Council -
1) notes the continuing practice in all ANC-led provinces of overspending on salaries and thereby severely handicapping urgent expenditure on basic services;
2) also notes the perpetual underspending on much-needed school and health infrastructure in these provinces even though R2billion was available in municipal infrastructure grants; and
3) acknowledges the need for more vigorous oversight by both government and the Treasury to ensure that service delivery receives the highest priority and receives the biggest slice of the budget.
