Wasteful Expenditure Monitor races past R200 million
The Democratic Alliance (DA) has today updated its Wasteful Expenditure Monitor, and the total now stands at R202 million, after an increase of R29.9 million.
The increases are largely due to wasteful and fruitless expenditure, as identified by the Auditor-General in his 2009 reports on a number of national departments and public entities.
The expenditure monitor is available here.
Of particular interest, is a report, costing R10 million, which was commissioned by the KZN provincial administration into ineffective policing, but never actually materialised. Money for nothing, as the saying goes.
