The Democratic Alliance in the North West has accused premier Bushy Maape of protecting his MECs, heads of departments and directors in supply chain management following the underspending of R1 billion for the 2021-22 financial period.A DA member of the provincial legislature alleged that the province’s failure to use the conditional grants, amounting to R1 billion, impacted badly on the already poor service delivery situation.
“This has become a pattern in North West but it is completely unacceptable when you look at the decay and the state of the province. “This needs strong steps from the side of the premier and the provincial government,” he said.DA member of the legislature Freddy Sonakile said: “We will only know around July how much was returned this year because it has become a norm to return money meant for service delivery to the Treasury.
“The question I asked was triggered by the fact that farmers in the province cannot be funded while the money was returned to the treasury. In 2021-22, there were exactly 12 000 applications by farmers for assistance, and only 110 farmers were funded, which is only 10% of applicants,” Sonakile charged.
What could be another reason for refusing to use money when people do not have proper roads, water, sanitation, etc,” he asked.
