MPAC Report Rejected Over Millions in Irregular and Wasteful Expenditure

Madam Speaker, this report is tabled to inform the Council of the irregular, unauthorised, fruitless, and wasteful expenditure identified during the 2024/2025 financial year.

The post GOOD PARTY REJECTS MPAC REPORT OVER MILLIONS IN IRREGULAR AND WASTEFUL EXPENDITURE appeared first on For Good.

GOOD Speech delivered during the Garden Route Municipal Council meeting in response to the MPAC Report on Unauthorised, Fruitless and Wasteful Expenditure by Rosa Louw, GOOD Garden Route District Municipality Councillor:

Madam Speaker, this report is tabled to inform the Council of the irregular, unauthorised, fruitless, and wasteful expenditure identified during the 2024/2025 financial year.

Madam Speaker, we understand the mandate of the Municipal Public Accounts Committee. However, as the GOOD Party, we are not satisfied with this report.

  1. We note with great concern the irregular expenditure of approximately R27.5 million.
  2. We note the recommendation to the Council for the write off unauthorised expenditure amounting to R21.4 million.
  3. We note the recommendation to Council for the write off fruitless and wasteful expenditure of R95,867.

These are some of the recommendations made by the administration to council.

Madam Speaker, MPAC plays a critical role in ensuring that taxpayers’ money is spent properly. Yet it appears to us, as the GOOD Party, that MPAC has failed in its mission and responsibilities.

Officials act with impunity, and there is no accountability or consequence for the misuse of municipal funds, regardless of what the Auditor-General or the Internal Audit Committee reports. This raises serious questions about the effectiveness of MPAC and the Internal Audit Committee.

As the GOOD Party, we reject this report.

I thank you, Madam Speaker.

  2. Fun South African Fact: South Africa is home to the world’s longest wine route: Route 62. It spans an impressive 850 kilometres and the excellent wineries along the way are a must-visit for lovers of fine wine! You can even enjoy the winelands on a day trip from Cape Town. Travel 40-min to an hour outside of the city centre to enjoy decadent wine tastings and even wander through some of the beautiful wine farms and estates! Suburbs like Durbanville and Constantia are even closer to the city centre and are also home to many exceptional wineries.
