DA calls for SIU investigation into Nala Municipality, FS
4 March 2015
The DA will today write to President Jacob Zuma requesting him to launch a Special Investigating Unit (SIU) probe into the Nala Municipality in the Free State.
Nala Municipality has been plagued by financial maladministration, corruption, mismanagement and has experienced an almost complete shut-down of all basic services over the past 3 years.
According to the Auditor-General's (A-G) latest financial management report for Nala Municipality, the state of the Municipality is in desperate need of intervention.
The A-G found that Municipal Management did not have documented policies and procedures to guide the operations of the Municipality, resulting in numerous instances of non-compliance with the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA).
