MEC says Msunduzi administration order 'was not about politics'
PIETERMARITZBURG - KwaZulu-Natal Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs MEC Nomusa Dube-Ncube has dismissed suggestions that political considerations had resulted in what many regard as a slow reaction in dealing with problems at Msunduzi Municipality.
The Democratic Alliance has been one of the staunchest critics of the MEC who they accused of shielding wrongdoing at the municipality in order to protect the African National Congress . She said while the municipality had experienced a decline in revenue collection, it still had sufficient funds to meet its monthly obligations. The MEC said this was one of the reasons that government had opted against dissolving the entire council as has been done in some municipalities in the province. Some of the reasons behind the intervention include:- failure to apply consequence management against officials who were responsible for irregular expenditure.
