19 February 2020
The Democratic Alliance (DA) welcomes the resolution of the Portfolio Committee on Public Service and Administration’s call today that the Finance Minister, Tito Mboweni, appear before Parliament to account for the growing lack of funding at Statistics SA.
In today’s portfolio committee meeting, the entity once again revealed that budgetary constraints are increasingly hampering its ability to fulfill its obligations optimally.
The revelations in Parliament also supports reports today that Stats SA is indeed knee-deep in a debilitating funding crisis.
Stats SA is a crucial entity tasked with providing periodic accurate statistics to inform the public, government and private sector of key developments in the economy and society.
