The Committee commends the initiatives that are provided by CoGTA to increase capacity in municipalities, particularly the Operation Clean Audit 2014. However, more intervention is needed in the implementation of the MIG projects. The ability to spend funds that are allocated to the MIG is a matter of serious concern to the Committee. The Committee views the role played by the MIG in the development of infrastructure as critical, particularly for those municipalities who do not have revenue base. The tendency of under-spending in the MIG is a cause for concern since some of the service delivery aspects, particularly infrastructure, are linked to this grant. The Committee recognises the role of CoGTA to be to give support to municipalities without capacity. Such intervention from CoGTA, National Treasury, Provincial Treasury and District Municipalities is required to support municipalities who struggle to implement infrastructure projects.
