Why are National Treasury’s performance and expenditure reviews being kept secret?
9 May 2016
The Minister of Finance, Pravin Gordhan, has not replied to my letter, dated 04 April 2016, requesting copies of certain performance and expenditure reviews in the possession of National Treasury.
I have, therefore, submitted a request, in terms of the Promotion of Access to Information Act (No. 2 of 2000), for access to all performance and expenditure reviews completed by National Treasury.
Up until now National Treasury has published brief summaries of seven performance and expenditure reviews.
However, no performance and expenditure reviews have ever been made public by National Treasury.
