DA committed to clean governance and compliance with National Treasury
20 February 2020
The Democratic Alliance (DA) has noted the latest attempt by the African National Congress (ANC) Chairperson in Tshwane, Cllr Kgosi Maepa, to mislead and lie to the residents of the City of Tshwane.
This pertains to the matter where National Treasury indicated to the City that they intend stopping amounts of R146.4 million and R342.2 from the original 2019/20 Public Transport Grant allocation of R741.8 million and R1.7 billion Urban Settlement Development Grant, respectively, due to underspending by the City of Tshwane administration.
It is clear that Cllr Maepa is a legislative and financial delinquent and the DA hereby places the facts of this matter on the table.
This is a City administration matter and it is a normal and standard annual process where National Treasury highlights the under performance of grant spending to all municipalities.
