Note to Editors: Please find an attached soundbite by Ashor Sarupen MP.
A briefing by the Auditor-General (AG) to the Standing Committee on Appropriations revealed that national government incurred R1.52 billion in wasteful and fruitless expenditure over the past 5 years.
The DA will submit parliamentary questions to the 41 departments responsible for this astronomical waste of taxpayer money. The various Minister and Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) must be held accountable for this travesty.
The Department of Defence (DoD) is the worst offender with R460 million in wasteful and fruitless expenditure, followed by National Treasury wasting R339 million.
