Mokonyane must account in Parliament on Wednesday for R6.4 billion irregular expenditure
The DA will write to the Chairperson for the Portfolio Committee on Water and Sanitation, Lulu Johnson, to request that former Water and Sanitation Minister, Nomvula Mokonyane and current Minister, Gugile Nkwiti, be summoned to appear before parliament to answer for the Department of Water and Sanitation’s (DWS) irregular expenditure of over R6.4 billion found by the Office of the Auditor General.
It was during Mokonyane’s tenure that the Department reported this astounding amount of irregular expenditure and the AG noted the dramatic spike in irregular spending from 2014 when Mokonyane took over the reins.
Mokonyane has much to account for and must do so at the joint meeting between DWS, the Office of the Auditor-General and Nation Treasury next week, on 16 May 2018.
The DA will also request that the Minister of Finance, Nhlanhla Nene, also be present at the meeting.
Nkwinti as the current Minister must also detail how he will ensure this reckless spending does not continue.
