3.6.3 The Committee was not completely satisfied with the reports provided by the administrators on the status quo of their municipalities because it felt that they only mentioned negative things that was happening in municipalities without mentioning any good things (if any). The Committee raised its concern over litigation whereby officials are taken to court and later settle dispute through alternative dispute resolution (ADR); resulting in a large amount of money being paid by the municipality. The Committee is of the view that litigation should be undertaken only if there is high probability for the municipality to win the court case. Otherwise, a municipality may waste money and time on unsuccessful litigations that are usually settled out of court with huge financial implications; thus compromising service delivery due to wasteful monetary and non-monetary costs.
