The Committee remained concerned about the capital work project which took longer than expected particularly the building of Inanda and Esikhawini police stations. According to the Annual Report of the South African Police Service, the Department of Public Works was responsible for these projects and the costs of these projects ended up escalating higher than the projected budgets. It is the view of the Committee that in order for the priorities of government to be achieved, these priorities need to be clarified and prioritised by all stakeholders during the budgeting and planning stage. It is also the view of the Committee that planning for the priority areas of government should be taken more seriously and can not be treated in the same manner as none prioritised areas. Reporting, transparency and accountability in these areas should be enhanced at all spheres of government so that problems and challenges are identified and addressed accordingly.
