MEC Maile snubs Finance Portfolio Committee meeting, instead focuses on playing politics in Tshwane
12 March 2020
The Democratic Alliance (DA) in Gauteng is disappointed that the MEC for Human Settlements, Lebogang Maile opted not to appear before the Finance Portfolio Committee on Wednesday.
MEC Maile disregarded the summons to appear before the Finance Portfolio committee, where he was expected to explain the poor performance of his department for the 3rd quarter of the 2019/2020 financial year.
Currently his department owes service providers R1.217 billion for an array of services rendered.
Should these service providers not be paid before the end of the current financial year, it will have a negative impact on the department’s budget for the 2020/2021 financial year.
