The expenditure of the Department as at end September was at a concerning figure of 26 per cent In comparison with the mid-year expenditure in 2009/10, the Department had spent 31 per cent which was also an under expenditure. In the current financial year this became even worse since it has decreased by 5 percent when compared to the previous financial year. According to the department the reasons that led to under spending were mainly due to capacity constraints, delays in the implementation of certain projects, reshuffling and backlogs in the Department. However, the Department is convinced that with the reconstitution of the Department and the appointment of the Acting General-Director things are going to improve.
