(ii) All the funds collected were retained for servicing debt associated with all infrastructure of the GFIP project, maintenance of all infrastructure of the project and operational costs related to the provision of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), Incident Management Systems (IMS) and operational costs associated with freeway lighting and toll collections. Also refer to (1)(b) below.
(b We kindly refer the honourable member to Note 27 of the Annual Financial Statements as published in the various Annual Reports for details of Finance Charges as well as the Segment Report in note 39, providing detail of expenditure on roads, split between Toll and Non-toll. As the honourable member is aware these are the audited financial statements as audited by the Auditor General.
(2) No money is lost as the amount of Revenue which is not collected remains in debtors, therefore still collectible from the debtor. I also bring to the attention of the honourable member that the PFMA compels all debt owed to be collected from the debtors. I am confident that the honourable member does not wish the debt not to be collected and inadvertently disrespect the legislation.
